It is obvious that one of the greatest beacons of future development in Cross River is for us to have a super highway and seaport; it will completely navigate the state&#8217;s economy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He said &#8220;Ayade may not be the one who will complete the seaport or the super highway but he has gotten the audacity of hope to lay the foundation.\u00a0 I dare say that if the vision of the super highway was laid in 1999, we would have completed it by now\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Lebo said \u201cthe ambition of a state cannot be limited to the amount in the coffers, it has to be laid alongside the vision which the leadership has for the future of his people.\u00a0 So Ayade is saying that after the good work of previous governors, he needs to re-navigate the economy and what he needs to do is show that within the foundation of that vision, he has the sincerity and passion to follow that idea to the end&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The House , he said had decided that the constituencies should feel the impact of members, so we have moved, with the consent of the governor, to institute constituency projects for the first time in the history of the state.<\/p>\n<p>Lebo said\u00a0 &#8220;each member of the House is allowed to nominate a constituency project in his constituency; something to show to his constituents.\u00a0 And my colleagues have done consultation and needs assessment and came up with twenty five projects which is valued at over N3 billion which has already been passed into law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMembers he said are not permitted to nominate the contractor. The relevant agencies will advertise and get the contracts done without the involvement of members.\u00a0 Our responsibility is to ensure that the projects were executed&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, we decided that it was very obvious that every bill that we make must provide a kind of solution architecture for our people.\u00a0 And to do this, you need a citizen legislative agenda which means that we must find the content citizen benefit in every bill.\u00a0 As Speaker, I have provided a legislative direction which is called CLAP \u2013 Citizen Legislative Agenda Project.\u00a0 I was able to introduce that at the Commonwealth Parliament conference in November 2015 in Kenya.\u00a0 I was given that opportunity to introduce it and then it was accepted and we have been using it.\u00a0 As I speak, we do regular engagement in various constituencies.\u00a0 Before bills are passed, our colleagues must show that this bill has something to add to the citizen&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have also introduced readers\u2019 club, even though it is private to me.\u00a0 There are young people who are being mentored by me and other members of the House who are interested and we also have a democracy club which we meet once or twice yearly.\u00a0 We have also decided to reform various sectors by providing institutional framework through making appropriate laws,he added&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- www.deltanewsroom.com --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2163942495525027\" data-ad-slot=\"1411897411\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><code><a href=\"http:\/\/market.jumia.com.ng\/computers-laptops-gaming\/?utm_source=pap&amp;utm_medium=aff&amp;utm_campaign=b364e0f2&amp;a_aid=Omafume&amp;a_bid=b364e0f2\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" title=\"\" src=\"\/\/kaymu.postaffiliatepro.com\/accounts\/default1\/a72f75b38\/b364e0f2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"258\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"http:\/\/kaymu.postaffiliatepro.com\/scripts\/a72f75i38?a_aid=Omafume&amp;a_bid=b364e0f2\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VITALIS UGOH: The Speaker of Cross River State House of Assembly, Hon.
