A brief discussion about Cross River state:

Cross River State is a state located in the South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria. It was formed from the eastern part of the Eastern Region on May 27, 1967 and its capital is Calabar. The state borders Benue to the north, Ebonyi and Abia to the west, and Akwa Ibom to the southwest, with its eastern border forming part of the national border with Cameroon.

The state was originally known as the South-Eastern State before being renamed in 1976. It was previously larger, but in 1987, the area now known as Akwa Ibom became a separate state. Cross River is the nineteenth largest state in Nigeria in terms of area and the 27th most populous, with an estimated population of over 3.8 million in 2016.

The state is divided into two main ecological regions: the Guinean forest-savanna mosaic in the north and the Cross-Sanaga-Bioko coastal forests in the majority of the interior. It also includes smaller ecoregions such as the Central African mangroves in the south and a part of the montane Cameroonian Highlands forests in the northeast. The state is named after the Cross River, which flows through the state and forms part of its western border. Other important rivers in the state include the Calabar and Great Kwa rivers.

The state is home to several biodiverse protected areas, including the Cross River National Park, Afi Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary, and Mbe Mountains Community Forest, which contain a variety of endangered species. The state has a long history of habitation by various ethnic groups, including the Efik, Ekoi, Akunakuna, Boki, Bahumono, Yakö, Bekwarra, Bette, Igede, and Ukelle. The region was a center of anti-colonial resistance and trade during the colonial period and was the site of the Women’s War and the Nigerian Civil War.

The state was renamed Cross River in 1976 and was divided in 1987 to create Akwa Ibom. The Bakassi Peninsula, which used to be part of the state, was ceded to Cameroon in 2002.
