Governor Bassey Otu has experienced the loss of three senior administration officials within the first three years of his administration in Cross River State. Among those who passed away were two serving commissioners and the head of a crucial parastatal.
The Commissioner for Power and Renewable Energy, Eka Williams Abang, succumbed to his illness after collapsing in Abuja. Although the specific medical details surrounding his demise remain undisclosed, family sources have confirmed his death.
Abubakar Robert Ewa, the Commissioner for Tourism, became the first commissioner to pass away under Otu's leadership on January 8, 2025. He attended a State Executive Council meeting on that fateful day before his untimely death.
Another significant loss occurred in June 2026 when Prince Ojoi Ekpenyong Uguana, the Managing Director of the Cross River State Tourism Bureau, breathed his last. Despite the passage of time, the Otu administration has yet to offer an official statement regarding this latest passing.
