The Newly Inaugurated Interim Central Executive Council (ICEC) of Tanang Osung Development Union (TO-DU) today held its first formal Executive Meeting to deliberate extensively on the vision, mission, priorities, and strategic direction of the Union towards the development and advancement of Tanang Osung communities.
The meeting, which marked a significant milestone in the journey of the newly inaugurated leadership, focused on identifying immediate community needs and formulating practical solutions aimed at promoting sustainable development, unity, education, environmental sanitation, and youth participation.
Following exhaustive deliberations, the Council unanimously resolved to commence intervention efforts at Government Primary School, Eyotai, which has been identified as one of the critical institutions requiring urgent attention and support.
As part of its commitment to ensuring a clean, safe, and conducive learning environment for pupils and teachers, the Council approved the engagement of Elder Effiong Etim Otuodung (Respect) to undertake the monthly clearing and maintenance of grasses and surrounding vegetation within the school premises. The Council further approved a monthly remuneration of Twenty-Five Thousand Naira (₦25,000.00) for the ex*****on of this responsibility.
In furtherance of the planned sanitation exercise and in the spirit of collaboration with traditional institutions and youth stakeholders, the Council officially informed the Village Head of Eyotai, Elder Chief Edet Effiong Uwe, and the Village Head of Udung Ozin, Chief Ita Matthew, of the Union's intervention and sanitation programme at Government Primary School, Eyotai.
The Council also engaged the Youth Presidents of the two communities to ensure effective grassroots mobilization and community participation. To facilitate adequate sensitization and awareness, a sum of Twelve Thousand Naira (₦12,000.00) was provided to the youth leadership for mobilization efforts and the engagement of town criers to notify members of the communities about the sanitation exercise scheduled to hold on Saturday.
Recognizing the deteriorating condition and pressing needs of Government Primary School, Eyotai, the Interim Central Executive Council further resolved to assume an active role in supporting and managing the welfare and development needs of the institution. Consequently, TO-DU has formally decided to take over the affairs of Government Primary School, Eyotai, through strategic interventions, periodic maintenance, stakeholder engagement, advocacy, and community-driven development initiatives aimed at restoring the school to an enviable standard.
This landmark decision underscores the Union's unwavering commitment to educational development, community service, and the welfare of future generations. The Council believes that education remains the foundation of societal progress and that every child deserves access to a clean, safe, and inspiring learning environment.
The Interim Central Executive Council therefore calls on all sons and daughters of Tanang Osung, community leaders, youth groups, stakeholders, public office holders, and development partners to support this noble initiative and join hands with the Union in rebuilding and repositioning Government Primary School, Eyotai, for the benefit of present and future generations.
