Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River state has announced that the Calabar Monorail is set to be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari.

However, despite the governor’s optimist, the commissioning date remains unknown to the general public and Ayade’s predecessor Senator Liyel Imoke launched the project.
Governor Ayade has always affirmed that his primary focus in his first three years on taking office will be to ensure the completion of all projects embarked upon by Senator Imoke before he embarks on his own key projects.
