The Cross River State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts, and Culture Abubakar Robert Ewa, has passed away. He died on Wednesday evening at the Arubah Specialist Hospital in Calabar, the state capital.
Members of the Cross River State Executive Council, along with aides of Governor Bassey Otu, gathered at the hospital to mourn the loss with Ewa’s family.
Ewa had attended the state’s Executive Council meeting earlier on Wednesday, which was presided over by Governor Otu, just hours before his death.
Throughout his career, Ewa held several important positions, including serving as Secretary and later Chairman of the Boki Local Government Council. He also worked as Special Adviser on Community Relations and was Secretary of the Anti-Deforestation Task Force in the state. His passing has left a significant impact on the state’s leadership and the community.
