In her words:
"The bold official attempt by Mr John Obot, an Akwa Ibom son to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Reading Aloud is commendable and deserving of support.
As a teacher, I understand the power of the mind and how reading can energize and optimize it. Of course, the nexus between reading and personal productivity and success is beyond debate.
I can imagine the level of mental revolution John's effort will spark among our young people. We need to consciously promote the culture of reading, if we want to produce more capable leaders for the future. This is the spirit of the ARISE Agenda championed by His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno.
Congratulations in advance, John Obot."
