Cross River State Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, has handed over Renault vans to the newly inaugurated state Complaints and anti-Corruption Commission with a charge to act above board. 

The handover, which held at the open grounds of the Governor’s office, Calabar, was performed on behalf of the governor by his Chief of Staff, Martin Orim.

According to Orim, the provision of logistics to the commission to enable it carry out its assignment was paramount to the Governor, hence the vehicles.

He said: “We know that logistics is one of the factors that enables any organisation or government agency to achieve effective service delivery, that is why we are doing this.

“Apart from these vehicles, the governor has equally directed that the Commission’s take off grant and office accommodation be immediately made available.”

Receiving the vehicles on behalf of the commission, the Chairman, Justice Effiom Ita (rtd), expressed gratitude to the governor for making their job easy and promised to deliver on their mandate.

“We are going to hit the ground running, there won’t be any excuses,” Ita assured.
Ayade had last month inaugurated the Commission with a charge to block leakages in government.
