    Mr. Egar assured the people of Ugboro and Ibiaragidi that the road project would be completed within the stipulated timeframe. He noted that, upon completion, the road will become the first rural road ever facilitated by a Lawmaker to Bekwarra LGA and would ease transportation, improve access to markets, and boost economic activities in the predominantly agrarian communities.

    “Rural–urban migration largely occurs because development does not reach our people. The reason Senator Jarigbe brought this project here is to address the apparent neglect of our rural areas,” Mr. Egar added.

    Constituents have commended the Senator for the initiative, praying that God grants him the strength and wisdom to continue delivering more developmental projects to the district.

    Very Very Distinguished Sen Jarigbe Agom: A man that keeps proving beyond all reasonable doubt that not every Nigerian politician is all self centered BY GIFT NKARI AROBOR

     

    My husband and I had been in a silent battle concerning his health. We had fought this battle for over one year. Only closed friends and relatives knew about it.

    In April of 2025, after so much procedures, tests and examination, he was properly diagnosed.
    Having him living with a health challenge that proved all efforts to get him out of it abortive was very tough on us as a family.
    But getting to know what was actually wrong with him, getting to know what we were in for, financially and otherwise shattered us.💔

    Then we began to reach out to people for financial assistance. My husband wrote and printed many letters to individuals in public offices like the man you see in the picture above.

    To cut a long story short out of all the politicians he communicated to, seeking for financial assistance.

    Today, I publicly write to tell the world that only this man distinguished Sen Jari Agom responded and sent something to us.

    I’LL TELL YOU HOW IT ALL PLAYED OUT
    On that fateful night, disturbed about how to get money to at least commence treatment, my husband put up a call to our Senator Jari. He picked up and according to my husband, he sounded like he was already asleep, the call woke him up. On hearing my husband make mention of what he had been diagnosed of, he could tell that the senator’s eyes cleared instantly and he from the sound of his voice, he sat up! This is nothing but show of empathy for humanity. He understood it was something serious and instantly, he felt the pain in his heart.

    They spoke, he expressed how sorry he was that my husband had to go through all he was going through. After which he admonished him not to worry too much, that by God’s grace, he was going to be alright. (Very comforting words he spoke). Then he asked him to send his account details on Monday of the next week (the call was made on a Friday night). That night we went to bed grateful and hopefully knowing whom he had spoken with.

    Monday came and he sent the account details.
    Then the next day which was Tuesday, I was outside spreading out clothes I had washed on the line to dry, deep in thoughts as it had become of me. I was awaken from my deep thoughts by my husband who came out see bare feet holding his phone on his hand.

    “Guy what’s up, what’s so important that you had to come outside and with bare feet” I asked curiously. He came closer as he said in a low tone “honey come see what Sen. Jarigbe has done” handing me the phone.

    Men and brethren, when I collected the phone and looked at the message. Behold it was a credit alert from Senator!

    The amount?
    It was a whooping 4 million Naira! Seeing that made me fall to my knees with tears in my eyes in thanksgiving to God for the gift of such a man to humanity. And knowing that we can commence treatment as soon as possible.

    Someone somewhere may begin to think “eh he knows him now that is why he did that”.
    Well NO he didn’t have much personal knowledge of my husband. If he saw him on the road he’d walk pass him. All he knew was that a member of his constituent, the Divisional Officer of NSCDC Yala, who happens to be from Ogoja by origin called him. Nothing more!

    Senator sir, though my husband could not make it out of the sickness, he passed. But here is me telling the world that he d!ed with a very grateful heart to you sir.

    As a person, I have always had this different view of you as a very distinguished Nigerian politician. You do good things not just for votes or praises but you do good for humanity sake. I’ve always known you to be a good person but this time around you shocked us with your goodness and kindness….what a great man you are!

    If you were someone that does things for your personal interest only, my husband wouldn’t have been near qualified for your support.

    Now I am short of words to describe how it feels on hearing your name alone. You’re such a good man!
    On behalf of me and my family, we are and will remain grateful to you sir.

    May the Lord God in his infinite mercy continue to bless and prosper you🙏
    You shall continue to win in your career. 🙏
    You shall grow to the very apex of your career in good health 🙏

    The Lord shall continue to be with you in all you do.

    THANK YOU!
    THANK YOU!!
    THANK YOU!!!

    Excerpts From Governor Bassey Otu’s Remarks at Senator Jarigbe Agom’s 55th Birthday event at Hilton Hotel in Abuja

    Compiled By Agba Jalingo 

    “I want to say that nobody came to this world for nothing, that whoever it is, was created by God for nothing. But each and everyone cannot be blessed at the same time. But the bridge between people achieving that purpose is how to manage, navigate to get to that date of promotion. So I celebrate people who are people oriented and are loved by the people. Distinguished Senator Jarigbe Agom, seems to be one. Who is so entwined with his people, which is a direct opposite of some people who carry on without a pulpit, which of course is a problem to society.

    “55 years, he is still a young gentleman. I know that in my school days, when they say somebody is 50, I’ll say oooh that person is gone. But look at me here today, 55 is far behind me and I am still kicking and also very very strong.

    “Senator Jarigbe Agom, I bring you many more felicitations from all of Cross River State, both home and abroad, to say that they are happy with you. They wish you the best, long life and prosperity. At some time, politically, Cross River State was divided. And the major opposition was distinguished Senator Jarigbe Agom, because of his people oriented policies. But today, Cross River State is one, because of their coming. They came from all nooks and crannies.

    “When I came in here, I didn’t expect people to come all the way from the villages, particularly on a Tuesday like this, but I was surprised to come and see almost, from Councilors, House of Assembly members, Chairmen, the chairmen here you cannot count. Chairmen of local governments and their deputies, and other members who of course share his blessings with him. And you see all our governors here, that indicates something.

    “So one of the reasons for finding time to come here is that, Cross River State is going forward and will never go back. Our achievements within this time are quite enormous. God has done very well in our State. We are breaking new grounds and making new endings. That is why we need everybody to come together to do the needful so that the difference will be glaring. We are taking it from where our forebears left it, we have added value in all ramifications and I can assure you that when you cascade, when you move down, you will see that you have people who are ready to take the mantle and continue to lead the State forward.

    “Senator Jarigbe Agom, we wish you the very best in life. 55 is a giant age, but at 55, you have gained enough experience. In terms of maturity, you can take a decision in any sphere of life. At this stage, you are committed. We want to wish you the best. What the future holds, we don’t know, power belongs to God, but I know that there are better days to come.”

    HE Senator Prince Bassey Otu.
