The Cross River State Government has suspended the sale of tickets, collection of levies, and all related charges imposed on inter-city transport operators by government agents and security operatives across the state.
The directive, which takes immediate effect, was approved by the Governor of Cross River State, Sen. Bassey Otu following a meeting between the state government and the leadership of the Inter-City Drivers Association over concerns about multiple ticketing and levies affecting transport operators.
According to a press statement issued on Thursday, 18th June, 2026, and signed by the Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Governor, Linus Obogo, all relevant government agencies and security personnel have been directed to comply fully with the suspension pending further notice.
The statement noted that the state government would, in due course, convene a stakeholders’ meeting to develop a lasting and mutually beneficial framework for the transport sector.
It explained that the decision was aimed at addressing the concerns raised by transport operators while creating a more conducive operating environment for businesses in the state.
