The Director-General of the Cross River State Road Maintenance Agency (CR-ROMA), Hon. Christopher Ntui, has congratulated Governor Bassey Edet Otu on his 67th birthday, highlighting the administration’s support for road maintenance and infrastructure development across the state.
Ntui conveyed the congratulatory message on Sunday, October 18, 2026, on behalf of the agency’s board, management and staff.
In the tribute, the CR-ROMA director-general described Otu as a leader whose commitment to Cross River State was contributing to the state’s development, particularly in infrastructure renewal and public service.
He said the governor’s 67th birthday represented not only a personal milestone but also an opportunity to recognise his years of public service, strategic leadership and commitment to governance.
According to Ntui, Cross River State has witnessed renewed attention to infrastructure development under Otu’s administration, with road maintenance playing an important role in improving connectivity among communities.
He noted that the state government’s support had strengthened CR-ROMA’s operations, enabling the agency to maintain critical transport routes, improve connections between rural and urban areas, and promote safer road travel.
Ntui said road rehabilitation was essential to economic growth and improved living conditions, noting that functional roads facilitate the movement of people, goods and services.
“You have shown us that every rehabilitated kilometre of road is a gateway to economic expansion and improved livelihoods,” he said.
The CR-ROMA director-general also commended the governor’s commitment to the People First agenda, describing it as a guiding principle for the administration’s approach to development and public service.
He prayed for continued good health, divine guidance and strength for Otu as he leads the state, while wishing him peace, joy and happiness in the years ahead.
Ntui concluded the tribute by wishing the governor a happy 67th birthday and expressing hope for continued progress in Cross River State.
