Offering the congratulations on behalf of the Association, the President, Comrade Eyam Abeng, described the legislators as "beacons of hope", that must illuminate the paths for other alumni of Crutech to be trusted with leadership positions in politics, as well as in other areas of human endeavours.
The Association's President also specially felicitated Hon. (Engr.) Patrick Egana and Hon. Princewill Nkanu on their emergence as Leader and Deputy Leader of Yala and Abi Legislative Councils respectively, as well as Hon. Edward Buffa Bisong as Chief Whip of Boki Legislature.
