Alleged mismanagement of Cross River cocoa farms

On a matter raised by Davies Etta (Abi), the Cross River State House of Assembly set up a special committee chaired by Charles Omang to investigate the handling of state-owned cocoa farms by Oscar Ofuka, special adviser on cocoa development to the former governor, Ayade, whom members accused of continuing to rent out the farms after the end of that administration. The Assembly ordered Ofuka to appear and explain the financial dealings, and warned that a warrant would be issued if he did not.
