According with newsmen, he said: “The local or national economy cannot survive without manufacturers. Manufacturing or productive economy energizes any economy. But there seems to be more hotels than manufacturing facilities in Cross River and many other states.
It shouldn’t be that way. We ourselves are affected when manufacturers are not working. We take in revenues when manufacturers are working. We should give more support to local manufacturers.”
