Appreciation Message to Prof. Ikpeme A. Ikpeme, Chief Medical Director UCTH and his management team from the leadership of ARD-UCTH
We pour out our deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciation for the immense trust you’ve placed in us by entrusting the coordination of the CMD Cup 2025. Reviving this cherished tradition after a 30-year hiatus is a proof to your visionary leadership and commitment to fostering unity, teamwork, and excellence within our beloved institution.
Your fixed confidence in us, despite the daunting task and potential challenges, ignited a fire of determination and passion within our hearts. We invested every ounce of sweat and blood, driven by our love for this institution and the desire to see this tournament not just succeed, but thrive also in publicity, we invested and brought in the best of officials and teams to partake in this tournament with a wonderful media coverage that has gone beyond the state. Every late night, every early morning, every sacrifice we made was fueled by our commitment to making this event a reality, and it was all made worthwhile by your trust in us.
Your leadership transcends mere administration; it inspires a sense of purpose and belonging among us. By reviving the CMD Cup, you’ve given us a platform to showcase our talents, strengthen our bonds, and celebrate the spirit of healthy competition that defines us as a hospital community. Your support has been the bedrock upon which this tournament stands, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
We did not merely organize a tournament; we poured our hearts into reviving a legacy that will inspire generations to come in and outside the confines of Cross River State. We did it because we believe in the values this institution stands for excellence, integrity, and love. We did it because we wanted to leave a mark that would remind everyone of the power of teamwork, dedication, and passion. And above all, we did it for the love of our institution, the place that has given us so much and continues to shape us into better versions of ourselves.
Thank you, Prof. Ikpeme and your management team, for believing in us, for empowering us, and for being a beacon of hope and inspiration. Your impact goes beyond the confines of this tournament; it resonates deeply within our hearts and will forever define the legacy of your leadership.
With profound gratitude and respect, ARD-UCTH is happy with the bond we share as an institution and across other union bodies in the hospital.
We appreciate everyone who took part in this tournament both within the hospital and outside the hospital community
Solidarity forever
