Yesterday, I received the newly elected Chairman of the Abuja Chapter of the IYC and his Executives. They came to introduce theirselves and also to felicitate with me on my birthday and used the opportunity to present a plaque of Excellence Service Award to me in acknowledgement of my services to the Ijaw Nation, the Niger Delta and to our country.
I expressed my gratitude and urged them to work together, continue the efforts to advocate for and mobilize our people. Furthermore, I used the opportunity to enlighten them about the situation of our people in Nigeria and what must be done for our development and progress within the context of the Nigerian nation. I particularly stressed the importance of education, capacity building, self development and service with integrity.
HSD.
