  "summary": "Cross River State Governor Bassey Edet Otu has called for a stronger partnership between the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the state government to boost flight efficiency, upgrade airport facilities, and improve passenger experience ahead of the 6th African Sub-Sovereign Governments Network (AfSNET) Investment Conference in November 2026. The conference is expected to attract participants from across Africa and the Caribbean, placing Cross River State at the center of a major international investment and economic diplomacy engagement. Governor Otu emphasized the need for the airport to be adequately prepared to handle the expected influx of visitors, including a significant number of people from about 19 African countries and up to approximately 2,000 guests associated with the upcoming engagements.",
