Engr. Kestin to Chair IPF Inauguration on 29 Feb, Commends the Forum 

Warri __The forthcoming inauguration of the Ijaw Publishers Forum, IPF, got a boost on Tuesday when the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Chief (Engr.) Kestin Pondi, accepted the Forum's invitation as chairman of the ceremony that is billed for February 29, 2024, in Warri, Delta State.

Chief Pondi made the decision to chair the occasion when he received a delegation of IPF members as led by its President Comr. Ozobo Austin of Congress Newspaper, at the Tantita's office in Warri.

Other IPF members present during the visit include Mr. Akemetubo Alex of Waffi TV, Hon. Tamsokunbiri MMD of Parliament Newspaper and Rich & Famous magazine, Prince Perez Klint of Iduwini Voice and Mr. Abai Francis of PENGlobal,

.

The M.D. of Tantita applauded the Ijaw Publishers decision to join forces together to birth the formidable platform and also pledged his full support of the Forum's inauguration.

According to Chief Pondi, Ijaw people like other ethnic groups in the country are Nigerians but were wrongly misconceived and erroneously labeled as militants by those who were alien to their clamour for equity and justice.

He however noted that the era of other people telling the Ijaw and Niger Delta story is fading away as the Ijaw Nation is making tremendous progress with the coming on board of mainstream media organizations owned by Ijaw sons and daughters.

He urged the members of IPF to remain steadfast in their pursuit of rebranding the Ijaw Nation as well as making their contributions to its continuous growth in the region and in the country at large. 

Earlier, President Ozobo, while briefing the Tantita M.D. on behalf of the Forum's members, thanked Chief Pondi for the support the security firm has been offering indigenous media platforms towards their growth.

Comr. Ozobo also promised that the Forum will not disappoint Niger Deltans while he also plead for the continuous support of the body of Ijaw Publishers by other stakeholders in the region.
