that the visit is to express their gratitude to them for a rare show of
humbleness and dedication towards the growth of HOSCOM, stressing that their

Responding, the royal fathers respectively pledged their
unalloyed support to the good vision of HOSCOM, even as they advised that
leaders of HOSCOM should be steadfast in the pursuit of their goals to ensuring
the oil bearing communities are not shortchanged.
