Warri_____The Ijaw Publishers Forum, IPF today paid a courtesy visit to High Chief Favour Izoukumor, the Executive Director of Social Services, in his office in the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC).

The visit was also to officially congratulate Izoukumor on his appointment and successful inauguration as the Executive Director of Social Services, DESOPADEC.

Leading the delegation of the IPF, Comr. Austin Ozobo who is the Acting Chairman, CEO & Publisher of Congress Newspapers Worldwide read and presented the group’s congratulatory letter to the Executive Director.

Mentioning, the IPF Acting Chairman presented a copy of the group’s desire to work hand-in-hand with the directorate in areas they can fit in to make it more functional; to further build the confidence of the common Deltans in the commission.

A list of demands by the body to inclusively work for the good of Deltans especially standing in for the Ijaws in equal distribution of social services to the primary areas of concern in the state.

Another major concern of the visit is the request of the commission especially the Social Services Directorate to patronize and promote media houses playing host to the commission, the ethnic groups the commission is meant to cover instead of engaging the services of outsiders for jobs the indigenous publishers can do perfectly.

In a welcoming response, the Executive Director of Social Services, Chief Favour Izoukumor appreciated the IPF for the congratulatory visit and the initiative to push for a better Ijaw Nation through the pen, putting the Ijaw Ethnicity in the global space.

Izoukumor advised the body to remain apolitical; stay focused and not diving into political affairs that could make the pen-minded association untrustworthy and unreliable.

However, the ED promised that the commission will always do what it has been saddled with, taking to heart also the demands of the IPF to support the different media houses to grow to compete with top-ranking print and visual media houses across the nation.

Bringing the twin congratulatory and familiarization visit to an end, Mitchell Tamsokunbiri, the CEO of Kpakam TV gave the vote of thanks on behalf of the IPF, commending the ED-Social Services for the warmth welcome of the group, acknowledging the words of advice and promise to meet the demands presented to the directorate especially the ones they can do to help the indigenous media outfits grow to compete in the media space.

Support, Patronize Ijaw-Owned Media Houses, IPF Tells N/Delta Leaders

Publishers and media executives under the umbrella of Ijaw Publishers Forum, IPF have called on leaders, traditional rulers and stakeholders of Ijaw nation and Niger Delta region to patronize and support media houses owned by Ijaws.

The group, in a statement by its president and secretary Comrade Ozobo Austin and Tare Magbei on Saturday said Ijaw owned media houses should be empowered to compete with other brands in the media industry.

The duo also appealed for sponsorship of Ijaw journalists for foreign trainings to equip and position them properly to compete with their peers in the industry.

According to the IPF, media practitioners from the Ijaw extraction have contributed greatly in the struggle for the emancipation of the Niger Delta and resource control, hence, deserve support as a form of reward from Ijaw leaders, traditional rulers and Niger Delta stakeholders in particular.

They insisted that nobody can write the Ijaw story of balkanisation, oppression and deprivation better than Ijaw writers, adding that Ijaw publishers often had helped to strategically correct the unprintable names given to Ijaw nation by foreign papers and reporters.

IPF said foreign papers had caused serious damage to Ijaw history and struggle, noting that time had come for Ijaw journalists to tell Ijaw story in the right perspective.

The group advised that Ijaw owned media organizations be given due attention by all well-meaning Ijaw and Niger Delta leaders and traditional rulers.
