Ayade keeps to promise as DOPT takes Chinese engineers to begin work at Calabar Central Park

Senator Professor Ben Ayade has kept to his promise to construct a Central park in Calabar as Chinese engineers today began work on the site.

The governor inspected the site and gave his approval three weeks ago and now construction has begun which is testament of his commitment to the development of infrastructure in the state and improvement on the welfare of the people.

The park which is located at Picolo junction will be equipped with modern facilities and security gadgets like guest houses, shopping arcades, close circuit television among others.

The performance and vision of the Director General of DOPT Comrade Godwin Nyiam in initiating this project and other efforts in improving the traffic situation are commendable and shows that he cannot be deterred in bringing changes to the effective functioning of the department.

The park will no doubt assist in reducing traffic congestion in the city as most visitors who bring in goods would remain at the outskirts
