Senator Bassey Otu has commended members of UNICEM Host Communities for honoring him with an award for Human Development saying the effort of the organization to bring political leaders in the Southern Senatorial district together is worthy of accolades.
Senator Otu while speaking at the award ceremony said it has become imperative to commend the effort of the organization because it has lived up to expectation in recent times, he said: “The collective effort you have shown to bring us together is worthy of commendation”.
Prince Otu, the immediate past senator who represented the Southern Senatorial District of Cross River State, who also chaired the occasion, thanked God for all He has been doing for United Cement Company, UNICEM and the host communities (Akamkpa and Akpabuyo), counselling that, “We should change, love and always show gratitude”.
According to him because of the long standing relationship both parties have had irrespective of the trying moments, Cross River will witness more influx of investors which will in many ways boost the economy of the State.
He advised the UNICEM Host Communities to by all possible means, not derail from their community’s expectations because that is the crux of the organization. He encouraged the youths to stay off violence and other social ills because a society dominated by such cannot achieve any positive goal.
