CELEBRATING PATRIOTISM

The Berom Educational and Cultural Organisation (BECO), celebrates one of its very hardworking, selfless, resilient and patriotic members, and a son of Beromland in whom we are very well pleased. Engr William Gyang is by all means, simple, humble and unassuming, but with a heart of gold.

1. This young man has in the past, amply demonstrated love and care for the needies at home, hospitals and in the internally displaced persons camps (IDPs). In short William is a veritable study in selflessness and service to humanity.
2. The news that rules the social media today, of his reactivating six unserviceable ventilators at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), did not in anyway at all, come to us by surprise. It is typical and normal of him. The most important thing here is the fact that these ventilators are very critical in the management of COVID 19 patients.
3. Coming at this helpless and hopeless stage where the international community is on the brink of losing hope in its ability to confront the rampaging Coronavirus.
4. Engr William’s rare display of professional skill and entrepreneural expertise is the best gift to Plateau. That he saw hope in the midst of despair, light in the valley of darkness, strength where strongmen have been carpeted into submission, is not only rare, but unimaginable.
5. We in BECO see in the feat achieved by Engr William Gyang, hope for the land, long abandoned and forsaken, derided and denigrated by the powers that be. We are once more encouraged and motivated by the fact that William did not give up in the line of structured frustration. Instead, he relied on the admonition of the scriptures that where there is a casting down there is a lifting up.
6. BECO therefore rejoices with William Gyang, his family, the Berom nation, Plateau state and indeed the nation. We urge him not to rest on his oars but to strive to conquer new challenges.
7. We also implore government to take advantage of this positive development to identify hidden talents that abound in the nooks and crannies of the 17 Local Government Areas of Plateau and encourage them to develop their gifts. This we believe is the best form of empowerment.

Chollom Gyang
Secretary General.
