The committee was mandated to review and harmonise the transition report constituted by the out-gone Ben Ayade government and present same to the incumbent state government.
It would be recalled that the governor during his inaugural speech promised to provide the best governance to the people of Cross River State, saying it is not lost on us the enormous work that must be done and the weight of built-up expectations. Therefore, we shall manage time effectively to rewrite the trajectory of our corporate aspirations in line with our collective dreams in divine destiny.
While constituting the committee, the governor said, ‘We are ready to hit the ground running. Already, we have designed and reviewed our strategic road map to guide our actions as we kick off. We are committed to changing the fortunes of Cross River State.’
The transition review committee constituted 16 clusters for agriculture, finance, education, environment, health, industries, infrastructure, institution, lands and housing, performance management, social services, tourism, audit, payroll and establishment, account, and security.
