Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State has stressed the need for the modification of the East-West Road drawings into Calabar, the state capital, to avoid traffic grid problems being witnessed in some major cities in the country.
Otu commended the Senate for its effort towards the completion of the East-West Road, while making a case for more funding for the state to enable the segment into the state to be completed.
The governor made this known when he hosted the Senate Ad-hoc Committee on the East-West Road at the Dan Archibong Lodge, Calabar, on Tuesday.
He lamented over the long delay that had impacted negatively against the road.
