Effiom is now referred to Eyen Calabar 1, as the most active musician in the state, his band; South Central is always busy every other weekend, playing top functions in Cross River, and environs.  When it comes to music, society and lifestyle, there is no other authority reliable enough to speak about music in the nation’s paradise other than the Chairman of Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria in Cross River state-Effiom Trombone. www.eyencalabar.com is powered by South Central Communications.
