Constituents want nominee screened
Indigenes of Northern Cross River State Senatorial District have demanded screening of Tanko Ashang as commissioner-nominee.
The agitated constituents expressed concerns over the delay in the screening of Ashang, a lawyer, who is among the three nominees named by Governor Ben Ayade.
They urged members of the House of Assembly to as a matter of urgency screen the nominee to avoid vacuum in the State executive council.
Prof Ayade had through the Office of the Secretary to the State Government written to the Office of the
Speaker of Cross River State House of Assembly, in a memo dated November 14, nominating three persons for commisioners and requesting the house clearance.
