The Deputy leader averred that the State Assembly has a custom of officially giving credence and commendations to true ambassadors of the state who are achieving great things on the global scene.
He went down memory lane, recalling notable Akwa-Ibom indigenes that had attained such heights and were generously honoured.
Part of them according to Hon. Bob included Ime Ime Umanah, the first black African president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review and Master Stephen Udotong, a Nigerian whiz-kid in the United States who built the first nuclear fusor in 2017, among others.
Other members of the House like Rt. Hon. Asuquo Nana (Ikono): Rt. Hon. Effiong Johnson (Mbo); Hon. Jerry Otu (Ikot Ekpene/Obot Akara) and Hon. (Mrs) Itoro Etim (Uruan), supported Hon Bob's motion, adding that Hilda had projected the state in good light to deserve the honour.
The house members jointly posited that recognition of Hilda's success would serve as a morale booster and encouragement to other Akwa Ibomites who may wish to attempt positive feats in different endeavours of life.
The Speaker of the Akwa-Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Udeme Otong, directed the clerk of the House, Nsikak-Abasi Orok, to issue an official congratulatory message and forward same to Hilda Bassey.
