The Commissioner emphasized that Cross River State has continued to remain one of the most hospitable destinations in Nigeria where investors can thrive and make more output in business. 

She noted that in this era of global industrialization, the State is not left out as the Governor Ben Ayade led administration is deliberately using what is described as 'intellectual money', that is "thinking out of the box".
