The Cross River State Government has initiated construction on a N4 billion entertainment center at Tortugal Island, Marina Resort, Calabar, aimed at enhancing the state’s tourism sector and revenue streams.
Ojoi Ekpenyong, Managing Director of the Cross River Tourism Bureau, stated this during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.
Ekpenyong noted that the project, driven by private sector investment, is a strategic move to reinvigorate the state’s tourism appeal.
“The entertainment centre, once completed, is expected to create approximately 250 permanent jobs, with about 700 workers involved in its construction and development phases,” Ekpenyong stated.
