IPAC urges C’River lawmakers to protect state’s oil interests

The Cross River chapter of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has urged the state's representatives in the National Assembly to protect the state's interests in ongoing discussions over its oil wells. IPAC emphasized that ownership and status of these oil wells are vital to the state's economy and called for legislative unity guided by the constitution, fairness, and local interests. The council also urged public officials to exercise caution in their public comments to maintain good relations with other regions while safeguarding Cross River’s economic rights amid renewed focus on disputed oil wells following the RMAFC's decision to reopen verification.
