Cross River State has been thrown into mourning following the death of the Managing Director of the Cross River State Tourism Bureau, Hon. Prince Ojoi Ekpenyong Uguana.
His passing comes barely months after the state lost the former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Hon. Abubakar Robert Ewa, whose death created a vacuum in the ministry.
