Cross River Governor Bassey Out has directed the reopening of the Marina Resort, Calabar two months after a boat accident that occurred at the leisure centre.
According converseer.com, the directive was contained in a statement signed by Emmanuel Ogbeche, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor on Wednesday.
Recall that Otu ordered the closure of the leisure centre on June 26, following a boat mishap that capsized with medical students on June 24.
The boat accident claimed the lives of 3 students who were seeking fun following the annual Medical Students’ Week held in Calabar.
“The Governor directed that the order for the reopening is with immediate effect,” the statement read in part.
The governor also ordered the lifting of the ban he placed on the activities of scrap operators. He, however, directed that companies willing to carry out scrap metal activities must be guided fully by the following laid down mules:
1. Registration with the Scrap Metal Regulatory Agency of the State
2. Obtain a valid operational license from the Agency.
3. Obtain a valid form of identification from the Agency
4. Seek and obtain an approved location for their operations.
