The Coalition of Civil Society Group for Good Governance (CSGGG) has awarded Senator Eteng J. Williams, representing Cross River Central Senatorial District, as the best performing senator.
This prestigious award was presented to Senator Williams in Abuja, recently in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the Nigerian Senate.
According to Mr. Myke Ngbe, Leader of the CSOs groups, while speaking during the event, Senator Williams' statesmanship is a perfect embodiment of the true meaning of a statesman, as defined by Merriam-Webster.
Mr. Ngbe praised Senator Williams' wealth of legislative experience, leadership qualities, and commitment to serving humanity.
He said that "Senator Williams' impressive political trajectory began as a three-term member of the Cross River State House of Assembly, representing Yakurr II State Constituency from 2011 to 2023. During his tenure, he held various leadership positions, including Chairman of the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation."
Also Mr. Ngbe revealed that as Speaker of the 9th Assembly of the Cross River State House of Assembly, Senator Williams sponsored several bills into law, including the Cross River State House of Assembly Service Commission Bill 2020 and the Judiciary Funds Management Bill 2021.
"In February 2023, Senator Williams was elected to represent Cross River Central Senatorial District at the Nigerian Senate. Since assuming office, he has sponsored three bills, including the Nuclear Security and Safety Bill, and moved five far-reaching motions," he explained.
Accordingly, Mr. Mr. Ngbe further stated that "Senator Williams currently serves as Chairman of the Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream) at the 10th Senate. His commitment to public service and humanitarian initiatives has earned him recognition as an emerging Pan-Nigerian Statesman."
He mentioned further that "the senator's humanitarian efforts include doling out ₦200,000 scholarship grants to 21 indigent Law School students and sponsoring free medical outreaches for his constituents. These initiatives have benefited thousands of people and demonstrate his dedication to serving humanity."
