The name “Helen Isamoh” echoes across every inch of not just what represents the political landscape of Biase, but Cross River State at large.

To those who see her in the light of rivalry, the mention of Helen usually comes with sparks of threats that provoke deep sense of unease.

But to many who appreciate excellence, intelligence, wisdom in youthfulness and the notion of loyalty, Helen is not just a treasure, but an adorable delight. Helen’s entrant into public service and political success story has, sufficiently, imposed realities that dispels the shadows of the delusive speculation which holds that women are all-round weaklings and have the potential, by default, to fail in leadership.

As we shall navigate through her profile, it would be realized that she is not just a socially and intellectually fulfilled young woman, but an amazon that stands very tall and has distinguished herself in every of her endeavours. Dr Helen is highly refined, intellectually exposed, highly disciplined and very outspoken. Her inclined disposition to civility and candour in attending to delicate matters of public and political concern, has earned her a prime place and a high consideration in leadership preference amongst stake holders at all levels.

Dr. Helen had always sustained the forward momentum of stimulating new opportunities and creating milestones in offices she had held. As both Special Assistant and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Gender and Development, She had championed the advocacy for equal opportunities where the opening of doors to intellectual satisfaction, political attainment and social fulfilment for the female gender, as well, was stridently emphasized in a socially evolved world where the relentless agitation for greater participation of women in leadership has become a globally scaled phenomenon. She attained these milestones by Organizing many internationally and locally attended seminars where the discourse of gender equality dominated with earnest thought and concern.

Dr Helen is well equipped to match any task of leadership responsibility that will be bestowed on her. And as we begin to conceive the concrete benefits of entrusting her with higher responsibilities, let us take a stroll to her profile.
