The President of Ijaw Youth Council, (IYC) Worldwide, Sir Jonathan Lokpobiri Snr, has expressed immensed gratitude to the Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, for taking time to visit the project site of the IYC Ultra Modern Secretariat Complex in Yenagoa in order to assess the level of work done so far.
The IYC President who expressed an overwhelming joy, seeing jubilant Ijaw youths coming out to welcome the Odokorikodo 1 of Niger Delta to the project site, narrated how the umbrella youth body of Ijaw nation has been without its own secretariat, a sad tale that has greatly hindered the progress of the organisation, saying he is glad for the fact that this historic visit will inspire the speedy completion of the project.
He said the leadership of IYC is particularly grateful to High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, and High Chief Kestin Pondi, who saw their plight and commitment to have a secretariat of their own, and tookover the building of the IYC Modern Secretariat Complex, which has a lot of facilities, including a three storey administrative block, 2500 setter capacity conference hall, youth training center, a warehouse, car pack and others.
According to the IYC President, Tompolo, is a dependable pillar of support and a unifier, who is consistently giving back to Ijaw nation, utilising his hard earned resources to develop their land and foster peace and unity amongst the Ijaw people, noting that his all inclusive approach in treating Ijaw people and extending his benevolence to all zones of Ijaw nation, sets him apart as a remarkable leader.
He emphasised that one aspect of the struggle is the efforts to raise more leaders and youths with capacity, as well as strenthening Ijaw struggle platforms, stressing that in this regard, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, has consistently and satisfactorily delivered, making it easy for his leadership in the IYC to guide Ijaw youths on the path of intergrity and greatness.
Jonathan Lokpobiri noted that in every era, God sends a hero to defend and guide his people, citing historical figures like King Fredrick William Koko, Major Jasper Isaac Adaka Boro and others, pointing out that Tompolo is the hero sent in this era, and called on all Ijaw youths to unite behind him and emulate his exceptional leadership style.
On his part, the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, High Chief Kestin Pondi, stated that providing a modern secretariat complex for the IYC aligns with the company's corporate social responsibility, emphasizing Tantita's commitment to halting environmental pollution.
He attributed the pollution of their environment, especially the delicate marine ecosystem, to illegal bunkering activities and certain multinational practices, urging Ijaw youths to stay away from such activities to live a purposeful life, and protecting their environment.
