So, it is very gratifying for us to see that the trains are finally delivered to site and work is going on. In a couple of weeks, we will have this train running, linking Tinapa to the city of Calabar and berthing at Calabar Inter­national Convention Centre.
“This is a realisation of a dream and an indication of growth and economic expan­sion, particularly in the area of tourism, which the state is known for. This is growth for business and leisure, which should be appreciated by the people.”post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com..The governor said he was excited and pleased that the vision depicted a good proj­ect, adding that the monorail, which will run across an arti­ficial lake separating the two facilities, will be the newest tourism attraction in the state.
He added: “As an admin­istration, we will continue to build and strengthen that sector. This train will further enhance that because it will be used for both business and pleasure and I expect every­one to come and enjoy a ride of this nature that links the two great tourist attractions.
“Though I may not take a ride on the train before my exit, as we speak, everything has been procured and deliv­ered on site. It is just waiting to be coupled and it will be up and running, and this will become the newest tourist at­traction in Cross River State.”
