Cross River Allocates ₦2 Billion for Governor’s Lodge Makeover

The Cross River State Government has announced a major renovation of the official Governor’s Lodge, with an estimated cost of ₦2 billion. The refurbishment comes nearly nine months into the current administration’s term, drawing attention from both residents and critics.

Officials say the upgrade aims to enhance the facilities used for official functions and for hosting dignitaries. Work on the lodge is ongoing, with government staff regularly inspecting the progress to ensure the project meets set standards.

While supporters argue that maintaining government properties is essential, critics question the timing and scale of the expenditure, noting that other public infrastructure and services also require urgent attention.

The state government has not provided a specific timeline for completion, but the renovation is expected to significantly modernize the lodge and improve its functionality for official purposes.
