Dr. Linda Ayade @50: Celebrating a quintessential lady & pivot of women emancipation - Dr Betta Edu

 



The Queen who makes 50 Years look like 18 years; the Queen of Humanity, the loving Mother  of our time; your Exemplary life  is why we should celebrate your golden Jubilee in a festive manner.


Your virtuous disposition have remained an inspiration to the women folk, and eloquently reminiscent of the successful administration of Governor Ben Ayade.


Your expertise as a health professional has remained the conduit in which Cross River State health sector has continuously tapped from such superfluous knowledge; hence it very remarkable strides.


You have also become a pivot for women emancipation and an advocate of gender equality; paving the way for unprecedented inclusivity of women in the Ayade-led administration.


Mediatrix, your brainchild, has over the years been incredibly life-touching, impacting the society for better living.


You are effervescent, steadfast, tenacious, clear-sighted, intuitive, resourceful, quick-witted, courageous, diligent, resolute, affectionate, devoted, doting, and I can go on and on; but I’m out of superlatives.


It is my hope that your golden jubilee will herald further commitment to the bettering humanity and service to God Almighty.


Hearty 50 cheers, dear Dr. Linda Ayade, Cross River’s Amazon.


From your daughter,

*Dr. Betta Edu*

Commissioner for Health
