By EgbemaVoice,

The Ijaw Youths Network has commended the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Office, Dr Dennis Otuaro for his unflinching commitment to the development of the Niger Delta.

The youth group hailed the Amnesty for the recent award of over 3000 scholarships to students of Niger Delta extraction.

The IYN in a statement by its National Coordinator Frank Ebikabo and Secretary, Federal Ebiaridor, said that Otuaro has not departed from his avowed commitment to bridge the human capital development gap in the Niger Delta.

The group also commended the Amnesty boss for the recent deployment of 141 beneficiaries from impacted communities for targeted programmes in universities in the United Kingdom.

They urged the Amnesty boss to remain focused and dedicated to the cause of the region and ignore all attempts by mischief makers to distract him.

According to the group, the deliberate steps being taken by Otuaro to spread educational opportunities in the communities of the Niger Delta remain one of the most effective ways of entrenching lasting peace and development in the region.

Ebikabo and Ebiaridor, said that the Niger Delta and indeed the entire country would feel the positive impacts of Otuaro’s visionary input to education in years to come.

The youth leaders also commended the National Security Adviser, Mallam
Nuhu, Ribadu for his productive supervision of the Amnesty Office and contribution to entrenched peace in the Niger Delta.

The IYN called on youths of the Niger Delta to prioritize the interest of the region in making a political choice in 2027, even as they urged them to back Otuaro’s call to support the President Tinubu in the forthcoming election.

The group and recalled the efforts by the PAP boss in previous scholarship deployments and vocational training.

“We have noted with keen interest the recent deployment of huge number of Niger Delta indigenes for scholarship programmes within and outside the country.

“The record we have shows that about 3000 young people are benefiting from this unprecedented efforts of the PAP under Otuaro’s leadership within the country and 161 in UK universities for the 2025/2026 academic year.

“We in the IYN commend the PAP boss for his laudable efforts. We know his antecedents and we are not surprised that he has made this level of unprecedented impact within do short a time.

“We urge him to remain focused on the job and ignore detractors spreading falsehood about the programme and its leaders.

“We call on our colleagues in the Niger Delta to give the requisite support to Otuaro and the Tinubu Administration which has given priority to issues affecting our people.”

By
Editorial: The Return of Military Coups in Africa — Causes and Consequences of a Growing Trend Written by comrade Mingo M.S. Ogumaka, EgbemaVoice Editorial Board, In recent years, Africa has witnessed a disturbing resurgence of military coups — a phenomenon many believed had been buried in the continent’s political past. From the Sahel to the Horn of Africa, soldiers have once again become power brokers. In just a few years, nations like Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Guinea, Chad, Gabon and Madagascar have experienced successful coups, while countries such as Nigeria have recently battled allegations or attempts of the same. The question arises: What is fueling this dangerous wave of military takeovers in Africa? 1.

By
By EgbemaVoice, The Federal Government of Nigeria has introduced a major reform aimed at expanding access to tertiary education across the nation. Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the administration has approved a comprehensive streamlining of admission entry requirements for all categories of tertiary institutions. This initiative, championed by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, is part of the Renewed Hope Agenda and seeks to democratize education while empowering Nigerian youths for national development.

He explained that over two million candidates sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) annually, but only about 700,000 gain admission. This gap, he said, is not a reflection of the candidates’ ability but a result of outdated e...
