His appointment letter was dated 13th March, 2025 and co-signd by the Chairman Comrade Eseroghene Odima and Secretary Comrade Monday Usiakpor respectively. 

According to the letter which was formally handed over to him at the state Secretariat said, Opukeme's appointment was due to his vast experience as a journalist and welder which made it possible for this recognition. 

The delay of the handover of the appointment letter was due to his engagement in far offshore welding jobs, until it was made successful Monday at the office.


In his brief speech, Opukeme thanked the leadership of the Union and pledged to work in harmony with the union and all other relevant stakeholders to bring peace and development to the union and the nation.

He emphasized that ''We will vigorously and peacefully pursue welders reform in the oil and Gas industry in the country where all professional welders in Nigeria will earn a standardised (Uniform) monthly earning in line with international standard of American approved NDT and X-ray welders policy. Life insurance and ensure maximum safety policies adherence on site in line with international standards. We will achieve this through a peaceful legislative protection of both the National Assembly and the Senate with respect to full implementation of the nation's local content law.

 Opukeme assured the union to promote industrial harmony in the media between welders, contractors, host communities, the government and multinationals which are key stakeholders in the oil and Gas industry in the country''

However, it could be recalled that soon after the approval and endorsement of his appointment, the trade Union body from the National level has changed to National Union of Nigerian Welders.

By
READS PRESS STATEMENT, EGBESU BOYS WORLDWIDE BACKS EGBEMA YOUTH COUNCIL PEACEFUL PROTEST, Says, Ijaw Leaders Bear Witness to Egbema’s Sacrifices for Niger Delta Development,  Egbesu Boys Worldwide have thrown their full weight behind the Egbema Youth Council’s planned peaceful protest over the abandoned Udo–Ofunama Road Project, following the expiration of a 30-day ultimatum issued to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). The project, awarded in 2012 during the administration of former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was designed as a central network road linking Egbema, Olodiama, Okomu, and Gbarun Kingdoms in Edo and Delta States.

By
Federal Government caution Delta state Government for inciting ethnic crisis in Warri North LGA; Itsekiri Not Predominant Tribe in Warri North, — IYC, By EgbemaVoice, The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Western Zone, ably led by Comrade Nicholas Igarama in strong terms, condemns the recent declaration by the Delta State Government that the Itsekiri ethnic Nationality being the predominant tribe in Warri North Local Government Area.

However, for such a grave misrepresentation to come from the State Government makes it a matter that cannot be treated with kid gloves. The claim that Warri North is predominantly occupied or dominated by Itsekiri is unequivocally misleading, and a direct threat the existing peace in the state and warri North in particular.  Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori should be held responsible in case of Crisis in Warri Feder...
