During the handover, Hon. Okpoye encouraged the recipients to make good use of the engine, emphasizing their leadership role in fostering peace and development in their communities.

> "Youths are not just the leaders of tomorrow but also the leaders of today," he said. "Leadership is about guiding people to their destination. I urge you to sustain peace in your kingdoms because development can only thrive in a peaceful environment."

He assured them that a speedboat would be supplied soon to complement the engine and further enhance their efforts.

Receiving the engine, Comr. Roland Dade, President General of Ogulagha Kingdom Youths Council, expressed gratitude to DESOPADEC for its unwavering commitment to the development of the Ijaw oil and gas producing kingdoms.

Other leaders present included:

Comr. Kelvin City Eferusuoa (Egbema Youth Council President General)

Comr. Kingsley Egbejule (Gbaramatu Youth Council President General)

Comr. Victor Akemotubo (Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom Youth Council President General)

Comr. Quinton B. Tekedor (Diebiri Youth Council President General)

Comr. Loveday Omli Iduwuni (Idiwini Kingdom Youth Council President General)

The event's highlight was the formal presentation of the engine, marking another milestone in DESOPADEC’s efforts to empower youths and enhance peace across the Ijaw kingdoms.
