Hon. Egbung Odama Emerges Best LOGMA Award Recipient For 2025

By Genesis Ogiri

Abuja, Nigeria — In what political observers have described as a clear indicator of early excellence and exceptional administrative readiness, the Acting Chairman of Bekwarra Local Government Area, Hon. Egbung Odama Egbung, has officially received the 2025 Nigerian Local Government Chairmen Merit Award (LOGMA) — one of the nation’s most prestigious recognitions reserved for outstanding grassroots leaders driving measurable development.

The award ceremony, held at the iconic National Merit House in Maitama, Abuja, drew high-ranking dignitaries including top government officials, lawmakers, policy strategists, royal fathers, corporate executives, and civil society leaders. The atmosphere turned electrifying the moment Hon. Egbung’s name was announced — a powerful ovation that signaled a growing national acknowledgement of his fast-rising leadership profile.

Political analysts have described his emergence as particularly remarkable, noting that it came barely two months after assuming office — an uncommon feat in Nigeria’s local government history. His administration has already been marked by rapid execution, institutional restoration, and people-centered innovation.

Stakeholders in Cross River State have hailed his leadership style as “developmental, audit-conscious, people-first, and politically stabilizing.”

Speaking to journalists after being decorated, Hon. Egbung expressed deep appreciation and emphasized that the honour “is not a personal achievement, but a responsibility multiplier.” He warmly acknowledged Governor Bassey Otu for the trust and opportunity to serve, reaffirming his unwavering commitment to the governor’s “People First” agenda.

More than just an honour, Hon. Egbung Odama’s recognition as Best LOGMA Award Recipient for 2025 is being interpreted as a strong signal of a new governance standard emerging from Nigeria’s grassroots political landscape.

At a time when citizens are demanding evidence-based leadership over political rhetoric, his style has distinguished itself through institutional restoration, civic dignity, peace architecture, and immediate infrastructure revival — all delivered within weeks of assuming office.

Analysts further contend that his swift national recognition is redefining public expectations of what local government leadership should represent — not as an administrative placeholder, but as an active vehicle of social confidence, policy direction, and development acceleration.

If sustained, they note, Bekwarra may soon emerge not just as a local government under transformation, but as a national model and political case study — proof that authentic leadership is most powerful closest to the people.

 “This recognition is a reminder that leadership must be rooted in service, peace-building, and measurable development. We are just beginning — Bekwarra will not be left behind,” Hon. Egbung declared.

He also commended the LOGMA organizers for their credibility and diligence, stressing the importance of upholding a culture of merit-driven governance over political favoritism.

In an emotionally grounded closing, Hon. Egbung dedicated the award to the resilient people of Bekwarra, praising their unity and courage through past challenges. He reaffirmed that this honour “is not a point of fulfillment, but a call to do more — with humility, integrity, and courage.”
