The Speaker of the Cross River State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem, has dissolved all committees and thanked his colleagues for their support during their first year in office.
Rt Hon Ayambem announced this during an emergency plenary on Thursday at the Assembly Complex in Calabar. He stated that the Legislators gave him the necessary cooperation, which contributed to the 10th Assembly’s success over the last year.
Elvert Ayambem also prayed for greater cooperation and support so that the House could accomplish its objectives and thanked the Almighty God for sparing the lives of all Assembly members and staff.
“I appreciate your attendance in the plenary today, even with the short notice, in order to provide the necessary support. We have completed our first year in office, and for that, I am also grateful to God. Whatever has happened is behind us; as a team, we must move forward and strive to make our citizens’ lives better. “Personal interest yields to the interest of the House.” He said.
All House committees were dissolved, with the exception of the Committee on Lands, which is still working on a project, according to the Speaker. The Speaker made reference to the ongoing renovations taking place at the Assembly Complex, pledging to improve the aesthetics of the building, create a conducive atmosphere, and modify the power supply to ensure the comfort and productivity of the Members.
He expressed confidence that the past glory of the State will be restored and praised Governor Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu for the outstanding accomplishments in his first year in office.
