The Cross River State Government has observed with dismay the flagrant and unauthorized issuance of Press Releases, Press Statements and granting of Interviews on critical policies and decisions by some Government Political Appointees and Individuals thereby arrogating to themselves the role of Official Spokesperson of the State Government and that of the Governor, His Excellency, Senator Bassey Edet Otu.
This unauthorized communication culture is intolerable, misleading and undermines the dignity and strategic coherence of Government Communications in general.
