By Favour Adinya

The Female Commercial Drivers Association of Cross River State has expressed gratitude to the First Lady of the State, Rev. Eyoanwa Bassey Otu, for her dedicated support toward women empowerment in the state.

The Association members commended her recent gesture in awarding substantial cash prizes to nine female drivers who demonstrated exceptional performance during the state Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) training.

Mrs. Otu granted the women the sum of one million Naira each, recognizing not only their efforts but also their success in a traditionally male-dominated field.

The contribution, they noted, made the initiative a success.
