CALABAR —The Director General of the Cross River State Road Maintenance Agency, Hon. Christopher Ntui, has pledged to ensure that all ongoing road and drainage rehabilitation projects under the agency meet the highest standards of quality.
Hon. Ntui gave the assurance on Thursday while hosting members of the Cross River State House of Assembly (CRSHA) Committee on Works during an oversight inspection of key construction sites in Calabar, despite heavy rainfall.
The committee, led by its Chairman, Hon. Egbe Abeng Jabengo, visited several project locations including the rehabilitation of 'Feeder A' drainages at Parliamentary Extension, the construction of a 3-kilometre access road at Asikima in 8 Miles, and the construction of culverts and a 0.5-kilometre access road at Ekorinim.
Speaking at one of the sites, Hon. Jabengo reiterated the administration's determination to bridge the state's infrastructure deficit, in line with the vision of Governor Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu.
"You must live up to the expectations of Cross Riverians who will use these facilities. We expect you to deliver quality projects that will outlast this administration. As a committee, our role is to guide and support you towards achieving these standards," Jabengo said.
Responding, Hon. Ntui, alongside the agency's project engineers, expressed alignment with the committee's position, promising that all works will adhere to standard specifications and serve the public effectively.
Members of the CRSHA Committee on Works who joined the visit include Hon. (Engr.) Thomas Aruku, Hon. (Engr.) Francis Ogban, and Hon. Martin Achadu (Ph.D.), with Mr. Francis Atsu serving as Secretary.
