Cross River State Governor, Senator Ben Ayade on Thursday presented a budget estimate of N277.708 billion for the year 2021 before the State Legislature.

He christened it “Budget of Blush and Bliss”; explaining that it is blush because it is a period of shame with the recent experience with our face red and we are forced to turn away from our big dreams; from our kinetic crystallization and our olympotic agenda just to reflect on the mode of the times.
