Governor of Cross Rivers State Bassey Otu has commended his counterpart Douye Diri for making judicious use of the revenues from the federation allocation by constructing quality good roads.
Governor Otu gave this commendation at the inauguration of road project in Yenagoa.
He described his Bayelsa counterpart as a bold and courageous leader that they hold in high esteem and that he was making inroads in several areas of development of the state.
