“I have no doubt that Ms. Usoro Akpabio will bring her wealth of experience and exemplary leadership to bear in steering the SSDC towards the realisation of its vision for sustainable development, growth, and prosperity in the region,” the Deputy Speaker said.

As chairman of the House Committee on NDDC and Regional Development, Edidem pledged his full support to the Commission, assuring of close collaboration to ensure meaningful progress across the South South.

He prayed that Akpabio’s tenure would be marked by impactful service and an enduring legacy.
