Bishop Otu commended the street sweepers, saying, “You are important in the scheme of things, and the government thinks highly of you.” She added, “We are here to celebrate you because you deserve to be celebrated. Year in and year out, you are on the streets, sweeping in and out, in season and out of season, even during bad weather and at odd hours.

The First Lady presented bags of rice and cash to the women, with 30 diligent workers receiving point-of-sale machines and additional cash to augment their income. “Everybody is important, and what they do is also relevant. You are recognised, and I also want to let you know the governor thinks highly of you,” she said.

The Executive Secretary of CUDA, Ayi Etim, described the recognition as a major morale booster for the workforce. The event also featured the presentation of a brand new car and cash gift to Mikki Odionka, a talented artist who recently made it to the finals of the Nigerian Idol competition.
