The recent move by the Cross River State contingent to the National Assembly to table four separate bills for the establishment of federal medical centers in Ogoja, Boki, Ugep, and Abi is quite perplexing. With 23 federal medical centers already existing in the country, it’s surprising that our legislators would propose establishing four more in just one state.
This lack of coordination and harmonization among our lawmakers in Abuja is evident. It’s unclear how these bills would be passed into law, and even if they were, it’s unlikely that the President would assent to all four.
Furthermore, it’s improbable that the executive branch would allocate funds for four federal medical centers in a single state.
Our legislators should prioritize working together in a focused and harmonious manner to achieve meaningful results. Instead of trying to outdo one another or prove a point, they should strive for effective collaboration.
This lack of cohesion not only portrays them as unserious but also hinders the development of our state.
