November 26, (THEWILL) – The Media and Publicity Directorate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has named Beatrice Akpala, Chairman, Cross River State Publicity Committee.
In a letter of appointment, signed by Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Media and Publicity in the Directorate, he said, “The Directorate recognises your efforts and ability to properly project and coordinate the Publicity needs and requirements of the campaign in general.
“It has therefore appointed you as Chairman of Cross River State Publicity Committee.”
He added that the responsibility of the new Chairman is to “Liaise and carry along the members of the directorate resident in your state and liaise and interface with the party’s state publicity Machinery.
“Others are to interpret and translate some of the Campaign and Media expressions into local languages, as well as to disseminate the activities of the Directorate to Local Government, wards and polling units.”
Beatrice Akpala, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Communication and Advocacy to the Cross River State governor, Professor Ben Ayade, was earlier appointed Assistant Director, New Media of the Tinubu/Shettima Grassroots Independent Campaign Council (ICC), where she is proving her mettle as a trusted professional in the fourth estate of the realm.
She is a veritable media idol and broadcast sensation in the state and is famous for her very firm professional candour and fearless reporting style.
Her consistent progress in the media industry has been very phenomenal and also one of the rising young professionals in Cross River State, given an opportunity to flourish by the state governor, Professor Ayade, using the political landscape as an anchor point.
In her reaction, Akpala dedicated both appointments exclusively to the state governor, Professor Ben Ayade and promised to always give her best.
