C-River To Adopt Reps' Observations On MDGs
Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State has pledged to
incorporate observations made by the House of
Representatives Committee on Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) of the state to realize its 7-point Agenda.
He spoke while receiving the Committee led by its Deputy
Chairman, Hon Adewale Aribisala after inspecting some
projects in the State to ascertain their level of
achievement. Imoke said the State has initiated some
intervention programmes aimed at improving the condition
of its citizenry. He further explained that the State
has articulated some programmes to address problems
encountered by the people stressing that under its
health care delivery programme 150 health centres have
been earmarked for renovation while human capacity
remains a challenge to the Ministry of Health. While
assuring the committee that they would see some
remarkable changes when they call again, he said some of
the projects they inspected were delayed and not
abandoned as their recommendation or suggestions will be
taken into effect. He also disclosed that the state
needs an MDG office with consultants and engineers to
ensure the attainment of its goal. The Deputy Chairman
of the House of Representatives Committee on Millennium
Development Goals (MDG), Hon Adewale Aribisala said the
team, while in the state, had visited locations, and
suggested that projects in the state need a consultant
to take a cursory look at them and highlight their
success as well as clearly define their base line.
Aribisala said they expected to see action when next
they visit the state to determine how far it had gone.
