Cross River State Governor Prince Bassey Edet Otu has confirmed his administration's dedication to improving security across the state, ensuring both residents and investors feel secure. This commitment was emphasized during an inspection of a newly built police station on Bateba Street, Calabar.

Otu stated that the state continues to be the safest in the nation, highlighting the importance of substantial investment in maintaining peace and security, especially due to its vast borders with neighboring countries that pose security risks.

The governor also addressed the Yakurr 100m Ward Project Funds, calling for his intervention to tackle the politics of exclusion and ensure equitable resource distribution.
