Also speaking, the member representing Obanliku State Constituency and Leader of the House, Rt Hon. Moses Ushie Ucheche, noted that the contributions of the late Etowa to the growth of the State’s Water Board would not be easily forgotten.
Other members who spoke included; Rt Hon. Eteng Williams, Yakurr ll and Hon.

On their part, the wife of the deceased, Mrs Esther Elemi Etowa and son, Engineer Etowa Elemi Etowa expressed appreciation to the Speaker and Members of the Assembly for their support and concern.
Also speaking during the presentation, Director of Public Health who doubles as State Programme Director, Roll Back Malaria/Elimination, Dr Iwara Iwara urged them to take good care of the laptops and report any observable fault officially without tampering with the systems for immediate attention.
