\"\"Liyel Imoke has appealed to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), for the supply of more electricity to Calabar, the Cross River state capital.<\/strong><\/em> According to the residents, it has been a growing concern for them in Calabar, the cross River state capital over what they termed inconsistency in power supply across the state. This pitfall has according to them, crippled economic activities. Since the beginning of this year, the issue of no constant electricity for duration of 3hours daily has been a common norm, some areas have not even had power for over six months yet bills are been paid to PHCN. Concerned about this, the state governor, Liyel Imoke appealed to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), for the supply of more electricity to Calabar in line with its fast rate of expansion. The governor was speaking while receiving the Business Manager of PHCN, Calabar, Engr. Aikowe Joseph, during a courtesy call at the governor\u2019s office in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital. Imoke maintained that apart from enhancing productivity, electricity also plays a leading role in combating crime, as well as, boosting security, thereby seeking a strong partnership between the State Electrification Agency (SEA) and PHCN. Reacting to the governor\u2019s request, the Business Manager, PHCN, Calabar, Engr. Aikowe Joseph, assured that the claim will addressed in the shortest possible time.  <\/p>\n
