AKPABUYO – The Arthur Javis University Staff Multi-Purpose Cooperative Society (MPCS) Limited on Tuesday inaugurated its newly elected Executive Committee and Council of Inspection after a formal presentation of certificates of return and a swearing-in ceremony conducted by the Returning Officer and Cooperative Consultant, Prince Emmanuel Edem, who also is the State Coordinator of the Cross River State Cooperative Stakeholders Association Limited.

Prince Edem, while addressing members shortly after administering the oath of office, described the exercise as “a democratic consolidation and a victory for cooperative governance,” stressing that the credibility of the electoral process reflects the maturity and commitment of the Society.

“The certificates you receive today are symbols of trust, responsibility and service,” he said.

“I urge the new leadership to uphold the cooperative principles of transparency, accountability, equity and prudent financial management. Our office will continue to offer the necessary technical guidance to ensure sustainable growth.”

The newly elected Executive Committee is led by Lady Dr Daniella Nwanne, President; Dr Mrs Edum Abang Tangban, Vice President; Dr Nikita Umoafia, Treasurer; and Mr Casmir Ini Umoh, Financial Secretary.

Members of the Council of Inspection sworn in include Dr Avwenagha Enivwenaye Oghenero, Chairman; Mrs Patricia Igbong, Secretary; and Mr Archibong Emmanuel Edem, Member.

In her acceptance speech, President Lady Dr Daniella Nwanne pledged to lead with integrity, transparency and a renewed commitment to member welfare.

“We shall work tirelessly to strengthen our financial base, enhance member welfare and uphold the principles that define cooperative excellence,” she stated.

“Under this administration, our Society will not merely function, it will thrive.”

Also speaking, the newly inaugurated Chairman of the Council of Inspection, Dr Avwenagha Enivwenaye Oghenero, assured members that the Council would uphold its mandate with rigour and professionalism.

“Our role is to safeguard this Society through objective oversight,” he said.

“We promise to carry out our mandate with diligence, impartiality and strict adherence to cooperative laws.”

The event attracted University Staff, Cooperative Stakeholders and invited guests who described the transition as timely and essential for strengthening the Society’s governance structure.

The newly inaugurated officers are expected to advance reforms, deepen internal controls and elevate the Society’s performance as they steer the cooperative into a new phase of growth.

OBANLIKU COUNCIL, CYGNUS ALLIANCES PARTNER TO ROLL OUT SCHOOL-BASED AQUACULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL EMPOWERMENT PROJECT

✓ Pilot Scheme Targets Godbey and Cornerstone Secondary Schools as LGA Launches First-of-Its-Kind Skills Initiative

By CANL MEDIA.


SANKWALA — The Obanliku Local Government Council has entered into a strategic public–private partnership with Cygnus Alliances Nigeria Limited (CANL) to launch an ambitious School-Based Aquaculture, Hatchery and Agricultural Empowerment Programme aimed at strengthening youth skills, food security and community development across the LGA.

The initiative, announced through the Office of the Supervisor for Agriculture and Natural Resources, will be formally sealed on Thursday, 11 December 2025, during an MOU signing ceremony at the Obanliku Local Government Secretariat, Sankwala.

Described as a landmark intervention for basic and secondary education within the LGA, the scheme seeks to equip students with practical knowledge in fish farming, hatchery management, sustainable agriculture and enterprise development, marking the Council’s first structured attempt to integrate agricultural innovation directly into the school environment.

The pilot phase, tagged the Cygnus Alliances Nigeria Limited Alpha Project, will commence with Godbey Secondary School and Cornerstone Secondary School, with a scale-up plan to include more institutions as the programme gains traction.

Speaking ahead of the signing, the Supervisor for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Hon. Gabriel Ugbo, hailed the partnership as
“a transformational investment in the youth of Obanliku, one that combines classroom learning with real-life enterprise development, preparing students to become future agripreneurs and contributors to local economic growth.”

Under the programme, participating schools will benefit from the construction of functional fishponds and hatchery units, alongside structured training modules covering aquaculture systems, water-quality assessment, breeding, feeding and maggot production. Students will also undergo business and entrepreneurship development sessions designed to build confidence and stimulate community-level agricultural enterprises.

Chief Executive Officer of Cygnus Alliances Nigeria Limited, Prince Isaac Achu, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to delivering sustainable models of community empowerment that position schools as hubs of innovation and economic inclusion.
“At Cygnus Alliances, we believe in building scalable development frameworks that directly benefit young people and strengthen local economies,” Achu stated. “Our collaboration with Obanliku LGA represents a forward-thinking step towards securing a productive future for the next generation.”

The initiative is fully aligned with Nigeria’s national goals under the Agricultural Transformation Agenda, as well as current food security priorities aimed at empowering youth with employable skills and practical exposure to value-chain opportunities.
