Governor Bassey Otu has unveiled ‘Rethinking Our Collective Destiny’ as the theme for Carnival Calabar 2026.
The envoy made the call on Sunday during the flag-off of the Bikers Carnival, a major activity that features during the festival.
He said the commission inherited 5,000 direct employments within the creative industry but could now boast over 40,000 through the carnival.
“Culture is what unites us. It is our true strength.’’
The suspension by the governor is coming two days after the commission held its maiden award night in Calabar
