What happened
Bassey Otu declared in Calabar that Cross River State is pursuing the reclamation of assets from the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria. Otu also presented his administration’s record of debt reduction, noting that the inherited domestic debt was reduced by over ₦70 billion without taking fresh loans, bringing the outstanding debt to approximately ₦132.3 billion as of March 2026. The governor previously recovered the Tinapa asset from AMCON management.
