Calabar Carnival: Otu Flags Off Free Transportation Programme
Cross River State Governor, Prince Bassey Otu, has kick-started his annual free transportation programme for the Christmas season, an initiative that will allow residents and tourists to move across the state without paying transport fares.
The programme, launched on Monday in Calabar by the Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Peter Odey, aligns with Governor Otu’s “Season of Sweetness” agenda, which aims to ease movement and reduce financial pressure on households during the festive period.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, the Deputy Governor said the gesture reflects the administration’s commitment to citizens’ welfare, ensuring that everyone fully enjoys the Christmas season without worrying about transport costs.
“It is a season of sweetness, so we want the people of Cross River State to be part of this season of sweetness,” Odey said. “That is why we have decided to provide free transportation to Cross Riverians and even our tourists and visitors for the next 31 days. Anyone who wants to travel anywhere within Cross River State will be transported free of charge.”
