Last June the Cross River State Government issued a press statement that announced the cancellation of agreement on the operation of the state’s owned commercial plane being managed by Aero Contractors. The state instead reassigned the lease manager of its Boeing 737-300, known as Cally Air, to Melers Global Resources, a company that was incorporated for crop and animal production, hunting, and related services, according to a record from the Corporate Affairs Commission.
The Cross River Basin Development Authority, CRBDA, an agency of the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2021 contracted Fuuz Nigeria Limited to rehabilitate a solar-powered borehole, and town hall at Ikot Effanga Mkpa in Calabar Municipality for N7.3 million. The contract, CrossRiverWatch learnt, was awarded without budgetary provision which violates section 5, sub 4.2b of the Public Procurement Act, 2007.
