… Leadership is a big task, when you are placed in a leadership position, you have the responsibility to drive the process and strive for excellence, Sen. Odey stated.

Earlier on Thursday (January 23, 2025), Senator Associate Professor Stephen Odey, Commissioner for Education, Cross River State, held a management staff meeting with Permanent Secretary Barrister Francis Oyije and all the Ministry’s Directors at the Ministry of Education Headquarters in Calabar.

The Commissioner expressed his profound appreciation to the management staff for their tireless efforts in improving the Ministry’s standards and operations, as well as for the notable achievements recorded throughout the previous year. He wished them a joyous new year 2025, while charging them to redouble their efforts by remaining more dedicated and committed to their duties this year going forward. The Commissioner further stressed that the year 2025 requires the collective efforts of all team members, emphasizing that everyone should take their jobs seriously, as expectations are very high to complement the good work of Governor Apostle Prince Bassey Edet Otu, who is poised to transform the State Education sector, with the establishment of the new University of Education and Entrepreneurship and many other notable achievements recorded so far.
