What began as whispers about the phenomenal personality of someone with the demeanor of a greenhorn but the performance, competence, and strategy of a seasoned veteran, has transformed into resounding accolades and admiration for the man called Oden Ewa.
It is imperative to mention that Oden Ewa is at the forefront of the elegant renovation of the state library, which had been ruined and abandoned for years. As Commissioner for Special Duties in Governor Otu’s administration, he has proven his mettle in his contribution to the development of the State, and has become an integral factor in the successes of the administration by simply doing his job.
Oden Ewa strikes the chord with people in his spontaneous, boundless acts of generosity and commitment to human capital development demonstrated in his constant outreach to those in need; giving financial support to small business owners, his award of scholarship worth ₦250,000 each to 100 postgraduate students early this year among others. In addition, he has facilitated the enrollment of 1,500 people from Central Senatorial District into the Cross River Health Insurance scheme, and a few days ago, a beneficiary was operated for large uterine fibroid.
He hails from Ugep, Yakurr LGA. He is a shining example of an achiever, as his impressive achievements have demystified the usual underwhelming role of a commissioner in Cross River State. Oden Ewa is youthful, charismatic, smart, and accessible. He is an everybody’s guy.
As the echoes of his accomplishments continue to grow louder, it has become apparent, that Oden Ewa is a source of hope, a rallying point for many, as he has taken over the task of offering succor, particularly, during this challenging period in the political trajectory of Central Senatorial district, where federal representation is lethargic.
