"Thank you for the complements, it is of utmost necessity"

What does utmost necessity mean?
 
It means that something is urgent and important. It does not work in your sentence (without supporting context). In addition, your sentence is a comma splice -- two independent clauses separated by only a comma.

Learning the genetic basis of cancer is of utmost necessity.
Solving the unemployment problem is of utmost necessity.
 
What are the complements here?
