CELEBRATING AN ELDER STATESMAN AND TODU FOUNDING FATHER, DR. PAUL USINE (USA)

The Interim Central Executive Council (ICEC) of the Tanang Osung Development Union (TODU) warmly celebrates an illustrious son, elder statesman, compassionate leader, and distinguished founding father of our great Union, Dr. Paul Usine (USA), as he marks another remarkable year of life.

Today, we celebrate not merely another birthday, but a life distinguished by service, generosity, sacrifice, wisdom, and an enduring commitment to humanity and the advancement of our people.

Dr. Paul Usine has continued to demonstrate an exceptional passion for the growth, unity, and progress of Tanang Osung. His contributions to the establishment and development of TODU, coupled with his consistent support for individuals and initiatives within our community, stand as a testament to his deep love for his people and his unwavering belief in the power of collective development.

As a founding father, your vision and commitment have contributed immensely to the foundation upon which our Union continues to build. Your generosity, especially your willingness to give back and support the less privileged, remains a shining example of what responsible leadership and community service should represent.

The Union sincerely appreciates your kindness, sacrifices, wise counsel, generosity, and invaluable contributions to the growth and progress of TODU. Your legacy of selflessness and service continues to inspire the younger generation and reminds us that true leadership is measured not by position, but by the positive impact one makes in the lives of others.

May He grant you sound health, renewed strength, greater wisdom, abundant grace, and many more fruitful years to continue serving humanity and contributing meaningfully to the advancement of our people.

TANANG OSUNG DEVELOPMENT UNION (TODU) LEADERSHIP INSPECTS COMMUNITY PROJECTS, COMMENDS PROGRESS ON ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION

15th July, 2026

As part of its unwavering commitment to ensuring the timely ex*****on, effective supervision, and successful implementation of every project undertaken by the Tanang Osung Development Union (TODU), the Interim President General, Barr. Christian Bassey Nyong, alongside the Interim Secretary General, Engr. Lawrence Nyong Otoyo, today, 15th July, 2026, embarked on an inspection tour of ongoing environmental sanitation projects within the community.

The inspection commenced at the Government Primary School, Eyotai, where the leadership assessed the progress of the school premises clearing exercise being carried out by the assigned lawnmower, Elder Effiong Etim Otuodung (Respect).

Following a thorough assessment of the school premises, the leadership expressed satisfaction with the quality and extent of work already completed. The grass within the school environment has been substantially cleared, thereby restoring cleanliness and improving the aesthetic outlook of the premises. A few portions requiring additional attention were identified, and the lawnmower has been directed to complete the remaining areas within the week.

The inspection team also visited the Tanang Osung Town Hall, where it was confirmed that the premises clearing exercise earlier approved by the Union has been successfully completed. The Executive Council commends the dedication and commitment demonstrated in executing the assignment.

In continuation of the inspection, the leadership proceeded to the Tanang Osung Playground (Esighi Mbok). Upon observing the overgrown vegetation within the playground, the Interim President General immediately approved and personally mobilized the lawnmower to commence clearing operations. This intervention is aimed at restoring the playground to a clean and usable condition for community activities, particularly for youths.

As part of the day’s engagement, the Interim President General also led the delegation on a courtesy visit to the Village Head of Udung Ozin, Chief Ita Matthew, to ascertain the operational status of the community borehole generously donated by Dr. Effiong Onuntuei.

During discussions, Chief Ita Matthew explained that the borehole remains structurally functional, but its inability to supply water consistently is due to the absence of a generator required to power the pumping system. He assured the delegation that once a functional generator is provided, the borehole will resume operation and continue to provide potable water to residents of Tanang Osung Community.

The Interim Executive Council appreciates the valuable information provided by the Village Head and will continue to engage relevant stakeholders towards finding a lasting solution that will restore the water facility for the benefit of the people.

The Union also expresses its profound appreciation to Mr. Micheal Bassey Nyong for his prompt response and support towards addressing the environmental sanitation needs at the Government Primary School, Eyotai. His timely intervention significantly contributed to the successful ex*****on of the exercise.

The Interim Executive Council further confirms that Elder Effiong Etim Otuodung (Respect) has diligently carried out the assignment entrusted to him. He has, however, been directed to return to complete the few identified portions requiring further attention and to proceed with the newly assigned clearing exercise at the Tanang Osung Playground.

The Tanang Osung Development Union remains resolute in its commitment to transparency, accountability, and community development. The Union will continue to monitor all projects under its supervision to ensure that every initiative is executed in accordance with its vision, objectives, and the expectations of the people.

The Interim Executive Council sincerely appreciates all members, partners, and well-meaning sons and daughters of Tanang Osung whose continuous support, cooperation, and contributions have made these achievements possible. Together, we shall continue to build a cleaner, healthier, and more progressive Tanang Osung Community.

REPORT OF THE FIRST FORMAL EXECUTIVE MEETING OF THE INTERIM CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL (ICEC) OF TANANG OSUNG DEVELOPMENT UNION (TO-DU)
‎
‎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.
‎
‎The Council remains committed to transparency, accountability, inclusiveness, and people-oriented leadership as it continues to pursue projects and programmes that will positively impact the lives of the people of Tanang Osung.

MY MANIFESTO AS PRESIDENT GENERAL OF EYOTAI CONSULTATIVE AND EMPOWERMENT ASSEMBLY (ECEA).

Candidate's Statement: My Mission Statement:

My fellow Atanang Osung sons and daughters, home and in the diaspora, today I present myself to serve as your President General, not for title, not for gains or financial benefits but for duty and commitment.
Our strength as a people has always been in our unity, discipline, and commitment to lifting one another. Today, we must renew that commitment with action.

My/our administration will be built on 5 pillars:
Education, Unity, Peace, Development, and Character.

1. Education: Knowledge as Our Foundation: An Atanang Osung child left behind is the whole community held back.
- Establish an Atanang Osung Education Support Fund to assist indigent students at secondary and tertiary levels.
- Exploit avenues and opportunity for establishment of a secondary school in Atanang Osung land.
- Organize annual career and scholarship workshops in partnership with professionals in the diaspora to expose our youth to opportunities in various areas of human endeavors.
- Launch a mentorship network connecting Atanang Osung students with professionals across Nigeria and abroad.

Division weakens us. Our progress depends on speaking with one voice. We will

- Create a Diaspora-Home Liaison Committee to ensure projects and decisions reflect the needs of all members.
- Celebrate our culture through annual Atanang Osung Unity Day to strengthen identity and pride.

3. Peace: Resolving Conflict, Preserving Brotherhood!!
No development can thrive where there is strife. We will
- We establish and strengthen Atanang Osung Resolution Council to mediate disputes quickly and fairly, before they escalate.
- Work with traditional rulers and youth leaders to promote dialogue over confrontation.
- Make peace education a core part of our youth programs.
4. Development: Tangible Projects for Our People!!
We must move from talk to visible impact.
- Prioritize community projects no matter how little in various areas and create, open and maintain access roads through transparent fundraising and partnership with appropriate bodies.
- Support small business and cooperative schemes for women and youth to reduce unemployment and build economic independence.
- Create an event and projects tracking portal so every member sees how funds are used and what is achieved.

5. Character and Social Behavior: Restoring Our Name!!
Atanang Osung people are known for discipline and integrity. We must protect that reputation. We will
- Launch a “Respect and Responsibility” campaign in schools and communities to curb indiscipline, drug abuse, and antisocial behavior among youths.
- Recognize and reward exemplary Atanang Osung citizens who uphold honesty, hard work, and service to their fatherland.
- Work with religious and traditional institutions to reinforce moral values.

My Pledge to You:

I will lead with transparency, listen before I act, and account for every decision and kobo. This assembly belongs to all of us. My role is to coordinate, not dominate.

Atanang Osung is rising, ECEA is rising!!
With unity of purpose and discipline of action, we can build a community our children will be proud of.

I ask for your support, your trust, and your partnership.
