Mr. Kingsley Arikpo, one of the recently sworn-in chairmen of Cross River State local government areas, has expressed his concern about the significant difficulties he will face in his new role.
According to Arikpo, he is hell-bent on finishing the job he started when he was elected.
During the opening session of the 8th Legislative Council of Obubra, which was held at the Local Government Legislative Chamber, he addressed the gathering at the council offices in Obubra LGA and pledged to use his first hundred days in office to make a good impression.
While in power, Arikpo promised to make a big difference for the people.
“I am resolute in my goal to make a positive influence among the people in this local government region, despite the formidable hurdles that confront the entry point of my administration.
To improve the lives of his constituents, Arikpo promised to collaborate with lawmakers to enact legislation and programs.
Dr. Atan Egor was appointed as Council Secretary, and Mr. Ekong Okpa was named Chief Press Secretary, as part of the initial round of council appointees announced by the chairman.
Chief Ernest Irek, a former lawmaker, urged Arikpo to create an administration that values input from all citizens.
