Cross River taking Sports to NextLevel …Create special budget for sports development, says Speaker

Poised to return Cross River State to its number one position in football and other sports, the state will soon create a budgetary provision for talent hunt.

Speaking in Calabar yesterday after performing the kick-off of the fourth Northwest Calabar Municipal football tournament, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Williams Jones Eteng said, “the state House of Assembly will do its bit in that regard by simply creating a budgetary provision, especially encouraging the sports commission with budgetary provision for talent hunt.

“That is all our responsibility. We cannot legislate on this but we can encourage full budgetary provision.” The Speaker confirmed.
