Honourable Osogi reiterated that, the Governor, Senator Prince Bassey Otu’s mantra is People first which has to do with taking good care of the people, and you cannot take care of the people with a decayed environment, which is why himself and staff of his ministry needed to swing into action with directives from the Governor to ensure a clean and healthy Cross River State is achieved.
He expressed his satisfaction with Cross Riverians in their compliance to the monthly environmental sanitation exercise which is intended to awaken their consciousness about maintaining cleanliness in their homes and business premises as his ministry have embarked on the cleaning of gutters at watt market, effioette and other parts of calabar.
