IPF also thanked Comrade Joseph Evah, National coordinator Ijaw monitoring group, IMG, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, national president Centre For Peace and environmental justice, CEPEJ, and others for their moral support and contributions towards achieving a greater success in the Ijaw media conference 2024.

It was learnt that the maiden Ijaw media conference was held on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at the Banquet Hall in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State Capital.

According to the organisers, the maiden Ijaw Media Conference was aimed at raising awareness to demand for economic, environmental, and political justice for Ijaws and Niger Delta following endless marginalisation in the scheme of things by the Nigerian government, adding that with the support of the above personalities and others the event recorded a great success.

The IPF prayed for God's divine blessings upon all the contributors, supporters and attendees, adding that their supports were acknowledged and appreciated.

The maiden Ijaw Media Conference and Annual Dialogue 2024 with the theme 'Advancing the Quest for Economic and Political Justice' was attended by media practitioners, environmental activists, top government officials, community leaders, women groups and among others.

The conference deliberated on the division in the Ijaw Nation caused by partisan politics, and however described it as an act of lack of focus and direction on the part of the Ijaw leadership.

Consequently, the various speakers at the event agreed that Ijaw nation despite it producing the bulk resources that feed the nation, people were relegated to the background in the sharing of the national cake.

The group's national president emphasised that the persistent marginalisation and oppression of the Niger Delta people by the Nigerian Federal Government had led to a growing demand for resource control and self-determination. 

In his welcome address, Ozobo noted that Ijaw people who continued to bear the burden of the nation's oil wealth are increasingly seeking greater autonomy and control over their natural resources.

The conference called on the Federal Government of Nigeria and other stakeholders to take immediate action to address the menace of environmental degradation, economic marginalization, and political exclusion facing the Niger Delta region.

Udo-Ofunama Road: Why NDDC Disappointed Egbema Kingdom,

By
Udo-Ofunama Road: Why NDDC Disappointed Egbema Kingdom By EgbemaVoice, The Egbema Focus Group (EFG) has expressed deep disappointment over the deplorable state of the Udo-Ofunama Road, a vital project awarded by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) seven years ago but left abandoned. Materials and equipment remain deserted at the project site, leaving the road in a state of disrepair. Speaking on behalf of the stakeholders, Comrade Mingo Meshach Saya Ogumaka condemned the negligence that has forced communities, clans, and individuals within the Egbema Kingdom to pool resources to grade the road themselves just to maintain access to their towns and ensure survival.

Comrade Mingo further noted that the abandonment of the Udo-Ofunama Road project has left the Egbema Kingdom de...
