C’River State Govt Endorses Awaade Of Lagos Theatre-thon official Guinness Attempt

The Cross River State government Monday in Calabar endorsed Awade Jacob Awade, aka Awaade of Lagos on his ongoing official Guinness World Record for Theatre-thon individual.

Speaking at Romaan Lounge, the venue for the attempt, Dr. Erasmus Ekpang, State Commissioner for Information, stated that His Excellency, Sen. Prince Bassey Edet Otu, is aware of the official attempt undertaken by this constituent, with assurances of massive support going forward.

Dr. Ekpang added that in pursuit of shaping the destinies of Cross Riverians through the current administration’s ‘People First’ mantra, the government will stop at nothing to promote noble ideas that will put Cross River State on the global map for good.

Assuring periodic visits and material support for the project, the state information guru reaffirms the administration’s dexterity in restoring human dignity. The visit by the Information Commissioner was accompanied by the ever-supportive Hon. Michael Odere, State Commissioner for Finance. Hon. Odere charges Awaade of Lagos to keep embers burning as the youth demographic is inspired by his audacity to set a world record.

He assures us of consistent support in making the Guinness World Record a huge success. Also in the entourage are Mr. Joseph Edet, CEO of Lashakar, Dr. Iyke Ukweh, Huggis Group, and other dignitaries. Earlier, Mr. Patrick Ugbe, CEO of Hit FM Calabar, commended Awaade of Lagos for attempting the seemingly impossible: setting a new world record leveraging the instrumentality of Theatre.

He promised to remain consistent in promoting talents for the common good.

Meanwhile, as the world continues to anticipate this historic feat from young and vibrant Cross Riverians, all hands are on deck for its manifestation. Thus far, the Theatre-thon challenge of 120 hours has accomplished over 70 hours and counting.
