AKPABIO DECLARES BARRY MPIGI’S SENATE SEAT VACANT, INEC TO CONDUCT BY-ELECTION

The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has officially declared the seat of the late Barry Mpigi vacant, paving the way for a fresh election in the Rivers South-East Senatorial District.

The announcement was made on Tuesday during plenary at the National Assembly, following the demise of the lawmaker who represented the district under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akpabio directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a by-election within 30 days, in line with constitutional provisions guiding vacancies in the National Assembly.

He emphasized that the move is necessary to ensure that the people of Rivers South-East are not left without representation in the Senate.

“In line with the provisions of our Constitution, the Independent National Electoral Commission is accordingly mandated to conduct fresh polls to fill the vacant seat within the time specified, which is about 30 days from this declaration,” Akpabio stated.

The development sets the stage for political activities in the Rivers South-East district, as stake holders and parties are expected to begin consultations ahead of the forthcoming by-election.

WE LOST HER YESTERDAY.😭😭😭

We did our best to save her, but she didn't make it.
She was brought to UPTH already in a coma and has been in a coma ever since.

The A & E doctor told me on Friday that she had made a little progress by opening her eyes but was still unable to communicate. Only to get a call two days ago on Tuesday that she had been moved to the Female Medical Ward and was no longer opening her eyes. The new doctor then ordered an urgent brain scan, which we had to pay for an ambulance to take her to a private facility outside UPTH for the scan.
While I was waiting for the results of the brain scan yesterday, I got the shocking call that she is gone.

I want to sincerely thank all of you for your positive messages, prayers, and comments. They are very encouraging. God is our strength. I also want to thank you specially Christine for all your running around to the hospital on my behalf. Thank you Mr. Dekoo for your efforts.
Joy Kingsley Okon was a single mother of two children, a boy and a girl. Please keep them in your prayers during this difficult time. May God bless you all.

"KISSING KENPOLY VIRAL PHOTO, BIOLOGICAL TWINS NOT LOVERS"- SUG MEDIA

The Student Union Government (SUG) of Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic has issued an official statement addressing the viral photograph of a male matriculant kissing a female colleague during a photoshoot held to commemorate the institution’s 38th matriculation ceremony.

According to the statement released by SUG Media, the individuals in the photograph are not romantically involved, as widely speculated, but are biological twins and the youngest of six siblings. The gesture captured in the image was described as an expression of familial affection, celebrating their shared achievement as the first in their family to gain admission into a higher institution.

The statement further clarified that the image, which has generated mixed reactions and sparked discussions about student conduct, should be viewed within its proper context. It emphasized that the moment was a sincere celebration of academic success and family pride, rather than an act of romance.

The statement reaffirmed the institution's commitment to maintaining its core values, discipline, and moral standards at all times.

‘Water is a fundamental human right. Ensuring access to potable water in Ogoni
communities is sacrosanct.’

-Professor Nenibarini Zabbey

PRESS STATEMENT

HYPREP REMAINS COMMITTED TO THE PROVISION OF POTABLE WATER IN OGONI

As the world marks this year's World Water Day, the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) reiterates its commitment to providing potable water in Ogoni, in line with the recommendations of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Report on the Ogoni Environment.

This year's theme: Water and Gender, with the campaign slogan, Where Water Flows, Equity Grows, succinctly reflects HYPREP's noble commitment to go beyond the UNEP recommendation of providing water solely to oil-impacted communities. Instead, HYPREP is working hard to deliver potable water to all Ogoni communities. It reinforces and aligns with our stance that water is a fundamental human right, and ensuring access to potable water in Ogoni communities is sacrosanct.

With a feeling of equality and inclusivity, we are implementing this thematic component of the Ogoni Cleanup Programme. To date, we have successfully provided potable water to over 43 communities in Ogoni. We are also advancing this effort with the start of our Phase 3 water projects, which will benefit an additional 17 communities in Ogoni, while the windmill-powered water projects in less populated communities in parts of Khana LGA are progressing steadily.

In the coming weeks, the K-Dere Water Project, which is at over 99% complete, will be commissioned for use. This is as work continues on other water projects across Ogoni.With these, HYPREP is on course to meet Sustainable Development (SDG) Goal 6- ensuring the availability of sustainable management of water and sanitation for all Ogoni communities by 2030.

Furthermore, we reaffirm our commitment to providing water that meets the highest standards. To ensure the sustainability of these water projects, we have adopted a joint management model involving HYPREP, communities, the Rivers State Ministry of Water Resources and Rural Development, and the Rivers State Small Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RSSTOWA). We have also established the Water Consumers' Association in Nchia, Eleme, and, in collaboration with Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs), conducted training in other communities.

Consequently, it is a strong belief that sustainable water supply in Ogoni begins with community ownership, support, and protection of the HYPREP water facilities. We therefore take this opportunity to reiterate the Hon. Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal's call for communities to continue to assume responsibility for safeguarding HYPREP water facilities.
Together, we can realize our goal of providing access to safe drinking water across Ogoni communities. Happy Celebration!

Sir Hon. Confidence Nyima Deko Congratulates Distinguished Senator Magnus Abe After Senate Confirmation As NUPRC Board Chairman

The Executive Chairman of Gokana LGA , Sir Hon. Confidence Nyima Deko, DSSRS, has extended warm congratulations to the former Senator who represented the people of Rivers South East Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Magnus Abe, as
the Nigerian Senate confirmed his appointment as Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), days after President Ahmed Bola requested his confirmation by the Senate.

The Gokana Council Boss who described the appointment as a square peg in a square hole, also expressed confidence in the ability of Senator Abe to deliver on the mandate of his office and surpass expectations .

He noted that Abe's experience as Assembly member, Commissioner, Secretary to State Government, Senator, Senate Committee Chairman on Petroleum Upstream/Downstream and member of NNPC Board, makes him overly qualified and the best man for the critical job.

Sir Deko further noted that the appointment of Senator Abe will ensure transparency in the upstream petroleum industry and reinvent the lost credibility in the industry.

He thanked President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, GCFR and Minister of the FCT , Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, GSSRS, for the enormous love shown to the people of Gokana and Ogoni Ethnic Nationality.

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission is responsible for regulating technical and commercial operations in Nigeria’s upstream oil and gas sector, including licensing, compliance monitoring, and ensuring adherence to industry standards.

Congratulations To Distinguished Senator Magnus Duunebari Ngei Abe, Chairman Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission.

Signed:

Maxwell Dukori
Chief Press Secretary
