In recent time, Dr. Betta Edu, the pioneer DG, Cross River State Primary Health Development Agency (CRSPHCDA) has become a buzzword in the media. This is not unconnected with the leading role she is currently playing in the primary health sub-sector - both in the state and at the Federal level.
A humble, intelligent and beautiful lady who can be unmistakably referred to as model par excellence, last month assumed a national role - Deputy Chair of CEO Forum of all Nigerian primary healthcare agencies.
No sooner had she assumed the position than she co-launched a new health scheme - RMNCAH+N with the Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari in Aso Rock, Abuja. These giant strides constitute major milestones in her career as a health practitioner.
Describing her in a speech during a session with her political ally, who pleaded for anonymity, Chief Angela compared her (Dr. Betta Edu) to the biblical virtuous woman, stating that if everyone in leadership position can tread her footprint, then the society will become a better place to live.
The SSA to the Governor on Mobilization and Enlightenment - Chief Angela Odey further commended her humble and humane gesture, in dealing with issues and people, wondering how a woman of her calibre - considering her position, beauty and class, could be so down to earth.
"If there is any young woman I am proud of in Cross River State, it is Dr. Betta Edu. The more I get to know her, the more my admiration of her continues to amplify. To me, she is if all health practitioners, a maestro par excellence. Her ingenuity is gradually unfolding as her fame has cascaded beyond the People's Paradise, Cross River State," she said.
Praising her exquisiteness and charisma, Chief Angela said: "The aura of her beauty and charismatic nature keep me wondering how completely perfect God has, in his creative ability, favoured her. You can't fault her in words and character - she is indeed, an icon in the real sense of it."
She noted that the good works of Governor Ben Ayade has extended beyond the frontiers of Africa as the World Health Organization recently commended the effort of the Governor and Dr. Betta Edu on the ongoing recruitment of primary health workers in the state. "It is awesome to know that even the international community is beginning to acknowledge the good works of the digital governor, His Excellency, San. Professor Ben Ayade. The World Health Organization has commended his effort and that of the 'Iron Lady,' Dr. Beta Edu on the ingoing recruitment of health workers."
In her final remark, she tasked young women to emulate the DG by imbibing the the ideals of her virtues, adding that she had not found herself at the top by accident. "I must tell you the truth as brothers and sisters, the ladder to the top is not easy to climb; it is not a bed of roses as some of us think - what you call luck happens when opportunity coincides with ability. This implies that you have a cost to pay. Dr. Betta is at the top today because she has paid the price. Go ahead and pay your price."
