Otu swears in 31 Commissioners, charges them on diligence, accountability

TO aid in the discharge of his duties, Cross River Governor, Prince Bassey Otu, Wednesday, swore in a total of 31 Commissioners.
The event which took place at the Dan Archibong Lodge which serves as a temporary office of the governor, was witnessed by the spouses of the newly appointed commissioners, as well as some key government functionaries.
The governor charged the appointees on diligence and accountability aimed at favourably turning around the state.
“I want to believe that your stewardship is going to turn the progress for the state to move to the next level, I therefore charge you to carry out your assignments with utmost diligence, accountability and commitment.
"We share a common burden and that burden is to take Cross River State to the next level and I want to believe that after the retreat when you must have resumed fully, you will then understand the enormous challenge and the responsibilities that we are in," Otu remarked.

Continuing, the governor reminded that all cannot be appointed the same day, hence those who are appointed, should consider themselves answerable to God.
"All your actions and intent must be guided by God because you are not coming out to lead alone, you must learn to serve our people," he said.

Extolling immediate past governor, Prof Ben Ayade, on laying a solid foundation on industrialization which vision must not be left to die, Otu said, "Ayade has put forward a very strong foundation as far as Agro Industrial Revolution is concerned. He opened a lot of territories which we have to fill the gaps. The challenge is not mine alone but all of us."
The governor admitted that he is not unmindful of the very great and big expectations that the people wants from the present administration, hence he would strive to turn things around.

On challenges and criticisms associated with public office holders, the governor enjoined them not to be distracted but only embrace what is right and good for the people.
"You might not enjoy accolades at that particular time, by the end of the day and in the dynamics of time, people will know that you did right," Otu said, intimating that "Cross River was once a very great state and it is time for us to climb that pedestal once more."
Earlier, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof Anthony Owan-Enoh, informed that after the selection of commissioner designates, they were sent to the House of Assembly as required by Section 192, sub section 1 to 5 of the 1999 constitution, for screening.

Owan-Enoh who noted that the exercise was thorough, painstaking and time consuming also remarked that at the end of the day, men and women who passed through the mill were gotten.
Those who took oath of office as Commissioners were, Erasmus Ekpang (Information), Mike Odere (Finance), Hippolatus Lukpata (Int. Donor), Egbe Ayuk (Health), Ededem Ani (Justice), Felix Idem (LG Affairs) and Lawrencia Ita (Establishment, Training/Pensions)

The goal is to raise awareness about kidney health and how people can live a long and disease-free life.

Yesterday was the World Cup finals,

Mbappe scored a blazing hat trick, first ever in a World Cup finals but guess what?

The whole world is celebrating Argentina & Messi.

Why? Because the world celebrates only winners. Mbappe did so well at that game but sadly, his efforts didn't get France the much anticipated win....

In life, nobody cares about you when you lose. Everybody becomes your FAN if you win.

This is natural. As we move into 2023, develop an attitude of WINNING. Push yourself towards excellence. Never embrace excuses. It is possible where there is a WILL. Have a blessed week ahead.

The United States has soundly defeated Russia in an election to control a United Nations body responsible for shaping global internet development, a contest viewed as geopolitically symbolic amid wider US-Russia tensions and an answer to fears of growing censorship online by authoritarian regimes.

Members of the International Telecommunication Union-ITU voted to appoint Doreen Bogdan-Martin, the US-backed candidate, as the group's secretary general.

Bogdan-Martin, a nearly 30-year veteran of the ITU born in New Jersey, beat out her chief rival Rashid Ismailov by winning 139 votes out of 172. Ismailov won just 25 votes. Reports say Bogdan-Martin will be the first woman ever to lead the ITU.

Turkish Airlines helps world's tallest woman fly for first time



Rumeysa Gelgi lies on the stretcher aboard the plane, in Istanbul, Türkiye.

With a small seating adjustment, Rumeysa Gelgi finally boarded a plane for the first time in her life. It was not an easy path, but the tallest woman in the world made her very first trip by plane with the help of Turkish Airlines.

Gelgi, who is in the Guinness Book of Records for her 2.15-meter (about 7-foot) height, was able to make the journey after Türkiye’s flagship airline turned six seats on the plane into stretchers. Gelgi has to travel by stretcher due to Weaver syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by rapid growth. She normally gets around by wheelchair but sometimes walks for short distances. The 25-year-old software developer wanted to travel to the U.S. to collaborate with Guinness for an event and to help develop her professional career. Accompanied by her mother, the young woman boarded the flight with her wheelchair before laying on the stretcher inside the plane for a 13-hour flight to San Francisco.

Rumeysa Gelgi poses with her mother at Istanbul Airport, in Istanbul, Türkiye.

She told reporters at Istanbul Airport that she was very excited to travel by plane for the first time, and that this flight was important for patients like her who need a stretcher. "This will be my first flight as well as my first travel overseas. But I believe that this experience will be a first for many individuals, not just me. Because as you know, the option of traveling as a stretcher passenger is generally reserved for patients who are being transferred from one intensive care unit to another. "It is an alternative for patients who are referred from one hospital to another and need an ambulance. However, because I couldn't sit for lengthy periods of time due to my scoliosis, or spine curvature disorder, I had to fly on
