Cross River State Governor Bassey Otu has announced that his administration has secured funding for a significant railway project designed to connect the southern and northern regions of the state. This railway line will link Bakassi Local Government Area in the south with Ogoja, Obudu, and Bekwarra Local Government Areas in the north, aiming to enhance the transportation of agricultural products and boost trade within the region.
The initiative is expected to facilitate economic growth by improving access to markets for farmers and traders, thereby contributing to the overall development of Cross River State. Governor Otu’s commitment to this project reflects a broader strategy to improve infrastructure and stimulate economic activities across the state.
