The Cross River State governor Senator Bassey Otu says his administration has established a complaint desk to address public grievances.

The governor disclosed this during a Meet and Greet with widows across the state as part of activities to mark his birth anniversary.

Gov. Otu said he discovered that our “brothers” are too hostile and do things government does not know about.

“Anytime there are issues, please come to the government. We have opened a complaint desk because we discovered our brothers are too hostile.

“They do things the government does not know about like collecting unnecessary tolls which causes pains to people.

“With the complaints desk, any one reported to have done that will be made to make full refunds”, Gov. Otu said.

The governor also said his administration is aware of complaints that benefits don’t trickle down to people and he has devised a means to ensure government benefits reaches people directly.

“We want to touch every unit and ward of this state irrespective of party affiliation to ensure the benefits of democracy trickles down”, the governor said.

The governor dedicated his birth anniversary to the widows and thanked them for their prayers, support and strength of character.

Chairperson of the United Cross River State Widows Uduak Effiom said such engagement has never happened in the state.

She also disclosed that the state has at least 10,000 widows who have stories to tell but thanked the governor for touching their lives in various ways.
