President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday launched the 260-kilometre Calabar-Kastina-Ala Super Highway road project at Obung, Cross River.
The President expressed the hope that the road would create a new vista of business opportunities for Cross River and the nation at large while launching the project. Buhari commended Governor Ben Ayade for his vision and foresight in conceptualising the project. “So, I must at this juncture commend the state governor, Sen. Ben Ayade and his team for their foresight in conceptualising this project. “Given the multiplier effect these two laudable projects are expected to generate, in terms of aggregate spinoffs, I want to assure you of my determination and as well as the commitment of the Federal Government to ensuring that this road and indeed the seaport runs to a quick completion. “Let me commend our young Governor, Professor Ben Ayade who globe-trotted to get these core foreign investors to invest in these huge projects.”
According to the president, the road which will link south-south and northern parts of the country, when completed, will also ensure a reduction in travel time and man-hour. He said that the project was a significant milestone in the economic transformation agenda of the state. Buhari, who was forced to abandon his official Chopper and embarked on road journey to the venue of the event due to heavy rain, pledged to be back in due course for the inauguration of the project.
