With the passage of the law, funds accruing to the two arms of
government for capital and recurrent expenditure would henceforth
be accessed directly by them in accordance with the provisions of
the 1999 Constitution as amended.
Governor Ayade underscored the importance of the bills while
signing them into law, saying they were important in the life of
his administration and a win for the All Progressives Congress-led
government.
The governor commended the legislators for their cooperation
which has enabled his administration to achieve a lot.
In his remarks, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon.
Eteng Williams, praised his colleagues in the 9th Assembly, adding
that giant strides in the quality of bills passed and assented to
by the governor were achieved during his leadership.
According to him, “We have made history with this bill signing
into law today. It is my strong conviction that we will continue to
work as partners for the growth and progress of our dear state and
the good people of Cross River.”
