GOV OTU OFFERED AUTOMATIC EMPLOYMENT TO...

 By Sylvia Akpan, Government House Correspondent

The Governor of Cross River State, Sen. Bassey Otu has offered automatic employment to an Ex-Corp member Miss Arit Abam, who honored her parent’s efforts in seeing her through higher education in a viral video.

The Governor disclosed this through his Chief Press Secretary Gill Nsa, after a viral video she is seen giving her father salute in full corper Khaki.

Arit, a graduate of Mass Communication from Temple Gate Polytechnic, Aba, Abia State, was seen returning to her father’s thatch house in her village marching towards him with a military-style salute thanking her father and handing over both her National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) jacket and face-cap to him where she posted on social media, with a note of gratitude and a charge to youths not to be ashamed of their humble backgrounds which went viral.

Recall that Governor Umo Enoh of Akwa Ibom State, touched by Arit’s expression of gratitude and the story of the father’s sacrifice to see his child through school, recently sent a delegation to Ugep, Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River State, for some background check. Upon the team’s verification of the story, Governor Eno pledged to build a three-bedroom flat for Mr. Abam and family as recognition of his sacrifices which became fruitful showing that he is in support of girl child education even as he commended her father for choosing to send her to school over building a house.

Governor Otu however, commended Governor Umo Eno’s gesture towards Arit Abam noting that it confirms the bond between the two sister States.

Otu hosted Arit in his office where he charged youths in Cross River State and beyond to emulate such acts he described as “worthy of reward.”

Arit lauded Governor Otu for his show of magnanimity, which she sees as an encouragement toward maintaining cultural standards and values, while acknowledging God for earning goodwill through a simple act of gratitude.

The Governor gave the Ex-corp member the privilege to choose any ministry, department or agency she would prefer to work within the State civil service.

The Secretary to the Cross River State Government, Prof. Owan Enoh and the Commissioner for Social Welfare and Community Development, Bishop Margaret Ene-Ita were both mandated to reach out to the ex-corp member which they did and escorted her before the State Governor.
