The senator representing the good people of Cross River Central Senatorial District, Senator Prof. Sandy Ojang Onor on Saturday, November 27, 2021 visited the scene of the recent fire outbreak in Ikom Town, Ikom LGA of Cross River State. His visit was to console the victims who lost property worth millions of naira with a pledge to make relief materials available as quick as possible.
The swift and timely reaction of the distinguished senator is in line with his inherent interventionist nature and in fulfilment of his campaign promise to always respond to the needs and yearnings of his people both in cheerful and tearful times.
This is the second time in two years that the Ikom main market is engulfed in fire outbreak. During the first outbreak, the senator had made same on the spot visit and assessment of the level damage. He ensured a follow-up with the National Emergency Management Agency NEMA, and relief materials ranging from mattresses, zinc, bags of cement among other things were provided and distributed to the affected persons.
Some of the victims who spoke with our reporter expressed profound gratitude to Senator Onor for his swift response, consolation and reassuring hope as the first public office holder to visit the scene inspite of distance and his very busy schedules.
