COVID-19: Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River Creates 8000 Jobs In One Day (Video)

Cross River state governor, Professor Ben Ayade gave out 8000 Jobs during his speech on Tuesday at the Industrial Park, Calabar.

According to him, any further extension of the lockdown will give rise as to uncontrollable youth restiveness, adding that it was better to lockout than lockdown.
Professor Ayade said the recruitment of 8000 youths was targeted at avoiding social tension in view of the harsh economic impact created by COVID 19.
