Touched by the plight of victims of the recent fire incident in Ikom, Cross River State, the senator representing the Central Senatorial District, Eteng Williams, has donated relief materials to the victims.
Williams, represented at the presentation of the materials by Ojong Ayiba, assured the victims of his support at this exceptionally painful period.
He informed the victims that as a direct response to this sad incident, Williams was vigorously advocating for a well equipped fire station to be established in Ikom, to shorten the response time to fire incidents of any sorts within the area.
