Before the Speaker's speech, the Environmental Corps and Vigilante, under the direction of Dr. Mercy Felix Effiom (Bishop), stated that their organization's purpose was to help the group become acquainted with all government agencies to establish a cordial and harmonious working relationship to further protect lives and properties in the state.

The Vigilante group urged the Speaker to support the implementation of the VGN Up-keep in the state under the Office of the Governor's Chief of Staff. They also requested that laws be enacted in support of the group and for the Speaker to use his voice to advocate with the Governor to secure operational mobility and other necessary machinery to help combat crime in the State.
