Udensi called for sustained advocacy on improved welfare and remuneration for security agencies, noting that enhanced support for personnel would contribute positively to national stability.

He encouraged continued collaboration among stakeholders to promote social inclusion and improve the overall wellbeing of citizens.

The Chairperson of NAWOJ FCT, Comrade Bassey Ita Ikpang emphasised the importance of collaboration between both organisations in advancing the cause of women, promoting gender equity, and strengthening media advocacy on critical issues such as health, governance, and social justice.

She described Chief Udensi as a visionary leader whose wealth of experience and influence would boost NAWOJ’s grassroots engagement, particularly the marketplace outreach programme.

Ikpang highlighted his contributions to national development, including his role in local government administration, innovations in vehicle and motorcycle plate numbering systems, and his engagements in governance and community development.

She noted that his professional accomplishments and commitment to societal progress placed him as a valuable partner in driving impactful advocacy initiatives.
