Sen. Eteng Williams Facilitates Over 40 Federal and Political Jobs for Cross River Central Constituents in Two Years

In less than two years at the National Assembly, Senator Eteng Jonah Williams, representing Cross River Central Senatorial District, has facilitated employment opportunities for over 50 constituents across various federal ministries, agencies, and parastatals.

According to verified records, about 40 indigenes of the district have been successfully employed into notable federal establishments, while others have secured political appointments and support roles under the senator’s structure.

As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Upstream, Senator Williams leveraged his position to secure placements for constituents in grade “A” agencies such as the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), among others.

Beyond these, several constituents have also been enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, and Federal Fire Service, reinforcing the senator’s commitment to youth empowerment and employment creation.

In addition, Senator Williams has facilitated the appointment of three constituents as Senior Legislative Aides (SLAs) to the offices of the Senate President and Deputy Senate President, respectively.

Complementing these achievements are the constituency officers and political appointees across the six local government areas of Cross River Central who are on the senator’s monthly payroll, serving as liaisons between his office and the grassroots.

A spotlight on some of the beneficiaries includes:

Rasine Bolaji Anani, Jesam Offor, Asari Inyang, Ubangha Eteng, Bassey Ojeje Williams, Aji Martina Unung, Bisong Robert Bita, Akong Samuel Erunke, Ojong Ojong Ojong, Ndifon Ruth Odu, Onyekwere Chimmuanya, Goodness Okey Arowosong Iwowo, Eju Judith Enare, Ibor Divine-Oyoke Omori, Otu Ayei Otu, Abam Michael Ubi, Oka Michael Omini, Obeten Elijah Ibiang, Ofem Simon Udumo, Ntem Ubi Thankgod, Hon. Bernard Inah, Hon. Usang Eteng Mbang, Gabriel Ojie Otu, Hon. Jacob Ojie, Hon. Hossana Isong, Gifted Nelson, Ajugbor Williams, Hon. Joseph Nton, Ikoi Eteng, Theophilus Abri, Ogar Nkarense Obia, Kyrien Agbor, Ndoma Akunubor, Patra Asie, Henry Ofem, Rose Okojie, Lucy Etta, Godwin Christopher Egbe, Elemi Isong Nkanu, Ikpi Ibiang Eteng, and Awusa Dibang.

Senator Williams, a former Speaker of the Cross River State House of Assembly, has continued to receive commendations for his people-centered representation and efforts toward reducing unemployment in the senatorial district.
