The Cross River State
APC governorship candidate, Mr. Odey Ochicha says he will make education in the state free for all irrespective of sex.
Ochicha made the declaration while answering questions at a one-day interactive session organized by NLC/TUC with candidates contesting elections.
He said that his administrations policy thrust would be girl-child adding that the girl child would have access to free and quality education.
Ochicha maintained that priority attention would also be given to provision of free health care services to workers in the state to boost productivity.
Ochicha, a political scientist, said “There is enough resources to pay our workers except that our leadership is bad!”
“It took me 29 years to prepare for this contest. Akamkpa Local Government alone has enough resource to salvage the state from the pangs of poverty,” he said.
On the prevalent insecurity in the country and the state, the APC guber candidate attributed the problems to injustice and bad leadership saying “if you cannot provide for the many, you cannot take care of the few”.
Ochicha said that the epileptic power outage in the country was a collective disgrace and promised to replicate the 24 power supply as experienced in Dubai, Singapore and China.
