The Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Eteng Williams, disclosed this on Tuesday at the Nigeria Union of Journalists secretariat in Calabar during an award conferred on the Special Adviser to Governor Ben Ayade on Cocoa Development, Dr. Oscar Ofuka.
According to the Speaker, “Any community where there is dispute, the land will be confiscated and cocoa will be planted there.”Williams said the award of Most Valuable Icon of Socio-Economic Transformation conferred on Ofuka was well deserved, adding that “Ofuka has done well. Nigerians have noticed you.”
The National Co-ordinator of Media Initiative for National Advancement, organisers of the award, Ene Okon, said, while conferring the award on the governor’s aide, that the recipient was making giant stride “towards revamping the cocoa agricultural sub-sector towards repositioning the state as the leading producer of cocoa.Responding, Ofuka thanked the organisation “for deeming it fit to honour me this day.
