    Calabar-Carnival-NigeriaThe Governor of Cross River, Prof. Ben Ayade, has described the annual Calabar Carnival as the “largest street party in Africa”. He made the remark today in Calabar at the grand finale of the 2015 carnival and noted that the festival is unique in promoting talents and unity among Nigerians.

    The governor pointed out that apart from promoting talents and creativity, the carnival had united the people of Cross River and other Nigerians.

    “We are celebrating 11 years of the carnival; the greatest street party ever; the greatest show in West Africa, this is just the beginning. This is my first carnival as governor of the state. We will continue to add new innovations to make it colourful in the years ahead,” he assured.

    Earlier in his remarks, Mr Gabriel Onah, Chairman, Calabar Carnival Commission, disclosed that nine countries participated in the carnival. He listed the countries to include: Spain, France, Italy, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Burundi, Ghana and Brazil.

    Onah said that the carnival had continued to produce commercial content into the state.
