Briefing the media in Abuja on Wednesday, Cross River State commissioner for culture and tourism development, Hon. Eric Anderson, said additional packages have been added into the carnival for maximum benefit of all delegates and the state in particular.
Hon Anderson said due to COVID-19 pandemic, Cross River State was not able to organize the yearly carnival which had led to much economic loss to the people and the state in the tourism sector.
He said the pandemic period had given the state much ample opportunity to think deeply to ensure the carnival concept is rebranded with additional concept and packages for maximum benefit of those involved.
