The Decaying Underbelly Of Calabar, Nigeria’s ‘Cleanest City’ by UltraSphinx(m): 11:44pm On May 15, 2022 |
In the 2000s, Calabar emerged as a tourism hub in Nigeria but all that good work has now been rubbished by heaps of litter. Calabar, Nigeria – Each day, just after dawn in the sleepy southern Nigerian city of Calabar, Hannah Edet sets up shop within the perimeter of a mountain of rubbish right in the heart of Watts Market, or Urua Watts as locals call it.

His Excellency, Donald Duke tried his best to keep Calabar Clean&Green, Street lighting @night, security & impressive nightlife among the residents in the city throughout his 8years(1999-2007) as Governor of Cross River State. Donald Duke set up CUDA with the responsibility in taking care of the Calabar city. He replicated &established Urban Development Authourity in other major towns like Ugep, Ikom, Obudu&Ogoja to cater for those towns. Major Roads &streets were massively rehabilitated in the entire Calabar city with Street lights &the other 4 Towns. Subsequent Governors who came after him struggles to keep Cross River State on that level. Calabar, indeed Cross River state became a destination of choice, which attracted tourists, businesses & investments to the state. Young school leavers picked UniCAL as their University of choice as a result of friendly& natural ambience Calabar city had to offer. We all hoped & expect Prof. Ben Ayade to maintain the culture of cleanliness&orderliness Calabar was known for, but unfortunately he has performed poorly in this regard. Maybe a southern senatorial district(Calabar) Governor will do the needful in the next dispensation. No other Governor does it better than a Calabar Governor H.E Donald Duke proved this. 59 Likes 7 Shares |
