In furtherance of efforts of the Federal Government in the provision of instructional materials nationwide, under the Renewed Hope Initiative, the Cross River State Universal Basic Education Board has taken delivery of the following items: bags, books, pencils, rulers, and sandals, etc., for primary schools in Cross River State.

The Executive Chairman, Chief Magistrate Fidelia Okpo Ene (Rtd), personally carried out the distribution of instructional materials, ensuring that every Cross River child is given the best in the basic education sub-sector. The distribution exercise covered Government Primary School Ikot Anwatim, Calabar Municipality, around 9:13 am, followed by Government Primary School Atu, Calabar South, and Duke Town Presbyterian School, Calabar South, among other primary schools.
