The highly anticipated visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Cross River State for the groundbreaking of the 260km dual carriage way has been postponed.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the state governor, Professor Ben Ayade, Mr. Christian Ita, said the decision to postpone the ceremony was communicated to the governor in a letter by the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari.
According to the statement, the Presidency attributed the shift to a letter written to the President by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Environment, Nana Fatima Mede, in which she claimed the proposed highway, if allowed to go on, would cut through the Cross River National Park, Vanguard reports.
