The Cross River State Government has introduced sweeping fiscal deregulation measures within its transport logistics network following an executive directive issued by Governor Bassey Otu suspending the sale of transit tickets, revenue levies, and related operational charges across the state. The ban applies immediately to all government revenue collection agents and security personnel.
The administrative suspension was finalized after extensive consultations with the leadership of the Inter City Drivers Association. By freezing the daily tax collections, the administration aims to mitigate inflation pressures, lower the retail cost of moving agricultural items between towns, and provide direct financial relief to commercial transit operators and the commuting public uniformly.
Governor Otu stated that creating a business-friendly environment is a core requirement for supporting independent enterprise livelihoods. The Ministry of Transport has been directed to enforce strict compliance with the freeze, while plans have been concluded to convene an expanded stakeholder forum to draft a structured, fair revenue collection framework for subsequent deployment state-wide.
