Kumini Sheriff Otu-Oshibu, the Program Coordinator for the Gorilla NYCN Boki Tournament, has issued a fervent call to the political and business leaders of Boki to rally behind this transformative event and lend their full support to its success.
The Gorilla NYCN Boki Tournament, set to take place later this year, is poised to be a game-changer for our community. Backed by a sponsorship agreement with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), this tournament goes beyond the realm of mere sports; it is a powerful platform to raise awareness about the urgent need to conserve Boki’s endangered forests and wildlife, with a particular focus on protecting the iconic Drill monkey.
At the heart of this initiative are the resilient and united people of Boki, who are eager to showcase their sporting prowess while igniting a renewed passion for safeguarding the natural treasures that make our region so unique. However, the organizers cannot achieve this ambitious vision without the wholehearted support of our political and business leaders.
We have already seen the positive response from some of Boki’s prominent figures. Hon Chief Abubakar Robert Ewa, a respected community leader and Commissioner for Tourism, has pledged his full backing for the event, recognizing it as an opportunity to showcase the true spirit of Boki to the world. Similarly, Mrs Thelma Ayuk, the current local government chairperson, has expressed her enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring that the tournament receives the necessary support from the government.
Now, we call on our other esteemed political leaders to follow suit and lend their unwavering support to this groundbreaking event. Hon. Victor Abang, the Member representing Boki/Ikom Federal Constituency, Hon. Bette Philip Obi, the Member representing Boki 1 State Constituency, and Rt. Hon. Hillary Bisong, the Member representing Boki 2 Constituency in the Cross River State House of Assembly, have the unique opportunity to demonstrate their dedication to the development and well-being of our community.
By endorsing the Gorilla NYCN Boki Tournament, these political leaders can not only raise the profile of the event but also inspire the youth of Boki to take an active role in preserving our natural heritage. Moreover, their support can attract additional sponsorships and resources from the business community, enabling the organizers to create an even more spectacular and impactful event.
The Gorilla NYCN Boki Tournament is not just about football; it is a chance for Boki to showcase its resilience, unity, and commitment to sustainable development. As the Program Coordinator, I urge our political and business leaders to seize this opportunity and become the driving force behind this transformative initiative.
Together, we can create a lasting legacy that will inspire generations to come and set a shining example for how sports can be leveraged to drive conservation and community development. I call on all of Boki’s leaders to join us in this journey and help us make the Gorilla NYCN Boki Tournament a resounding success.
