CALABAR (CONVERSEER) – In a renewed drive to chart a course for the state and mentor a young generation of Cross River State youths, Jabari Media Communications, Publisher of Inside Cross River News Magazine, has packaged the 50 Most Influential Cross Riverians, with a 50-year economic forecast for the state.
A well-tailored event to celebrate Cross Riverians from every walk of life, who through little acts have contributed to value addition to the state. The official unveiling of the icons will take place in March 2026, with Calabar serving as the host. He reiterated that we have to bring them to the “Calabar Hall of Fame.”
The Publisher of Inside Cross River News Magazine, Amb. Kanjal Awam, who briefed the press on the intention of its maiden event, narrated “If we don’t tell our own stories, they will change the narratives. We have some of the best minds who are thriving in medicine, oil and gas, entrepreneurship and politics.
“The drive is to reengineer the next generation through critical thinking, hard work and goal setting. We have gone through a trajectory of more than a hundred and forty years. Through our avowed commitment, the event is laced with a colloquium to chart a course: 50 YEARS FORECAST: ASSESSING AND BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND FUTURE CROSS RIVER STATE THROUGH DIGITAL ECONOMICS TOOLS.”
