The pain and sweetness often secreted from bees represent the insect’s natural duality — offering both the pain and the sweetness of life. Their impact on the environment could be profound , symbolizing diligence, community, and purpose. Their sting warns of self-defense and the necessity of boundaries, while their honey is a gift of nourishment and collaboration.

It was against this backdrop that the Cross River State governor, Senator Bassey Otu, in a defining move that clearly underscores his administration’s unwavering commitment to security, Thursday rechristened the state’s security joint task force, Operation Akpaku to Operation Okwok, meaning bees.

The bee imagery speaks loudly to Governor Otu’s courageous intent and to fact that while Cross Riverians will enjoy the sweetness that comes with utmost protection, those who seek to rupture the peace of the state will be met with the harshest of sting.
