Apostle Ekpe James restated his determination to sustain the special grants given to students of Ibesikpo Asutan origin who are doing professional courses as Medicine, Law and Accounting, adding that some core science and technology related courses are soon to receive attention in the same direction. He warned the students against engaging in cultism and other anti social activities, calling for them to remain focused on their studies, hardworking and continue to support the Government of Chief Dr Godswill Obot Akpabio, who he said has done well for the State in general and Ibesikpo Asutan in particular.

Comrade Okon commended the Ibesikpo Asutan Council Chair for what he said is his consistent and passionate approach to issues related to FIASA, harping that, the students  body has never had it so good under any Chairman of the Council. He pledged to work well with the Chairman to achieve the progress and stability needed to make the Council area develop and called on all students of Ibesikpo Asutaqn to reciprocate the gesture of Ekpe James by giving him total loyalty and support for his future political aspiration.

Earlier, the student body passed a vote of Confidence in the chairman and strongly condemned the purported move in the council by some councillors, allegedly goaded by some external forces to move against the Chairman, as they called for peace in the Council.
