In response to the recent inciting, baseless and emotional outburst by one Comrade Robert Obi, former factional caretaker Chairman of IPMAN Calabar unit during their purported visit to Secretary to the state government and other issues, I would like to provide a balanced perspective on the matter.

  To complement the efforts of the present administration in ensuring sustainable development at the grassroots and by extension, harnessing the economic resources of rural communities in Cross River state, a renowned Accountant and Local Government Administration expert, Elder Dr. Ndoma Odey has proposed the creation of 12 additional Local Councils in the state. The creation of 12 new Councils otherwise known as Local Council Development Authorities LCDA, in addition to the existing 18 LGAs shall bring the total number of Local Government Areas in the state to 30, with each state constituency qualified for one. The new LCDAs shall be funded by the state government and shall operate as full-fledged Local Government Areas, pending the consequential Act of the National Assembly.   According to Dr Odey, given the massive population of the state and its expansive landmark, it is difficult for governance and development to penetrate the rural areas with the existing 18 LGA str...
