National President of Niger Delta Youths For Good Governance, Senior Comrade Lucky O. O. Ukueku, has urged all Niger Delta leaders to unite and work towards building the region of their dreams, emphasising that without unity, development would be elusive. He made the call in a statement issued on Friday, August 1, 2025, in which he also expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for initiatives and projects implemented in the Niger Delta region, while pleading for more attention and support.

Ukuekeu, who first elected Executive National President of Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) Amnesty Scholarship Students Worldwide, specifically commended the Federal Government ?for projects approved and implemented in the Niger Delta region, including support for PAP and TSSNL.

?These initiatives have engaged many Niger Delta youths and improved their lives.?

However, Comrade Ukueku urged the federal government to further compensate the region commensurately. He argued that the Niger Delta region ?ought to be developed like Dubai if resources extracted from it were used to benefit the region.?

He also commended Dr Dennis Burtu Otuaro and High Chief Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi?s efforts in ensuring youth empowerment and oil security in the region.

According to him, ?The PAP Administrator, Dr. Dennis Burtu Otuaro, and TSSNL Managing Director, High Chief Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi, are commended for their outstanding work in empowering Niger Delta youths and securing the region?s oil pipelines. Their efforts have yielded positive results, including increased oil production and employment opportunities for youths. Comr. Ukueku also expresses gratitude to High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo a.k.a Tompolo, for his influence and engagement, which has brought peace in terms of security and federal projects to the region.?

Continuing, Ukueku called on the Federal Government to implement more projects to beautify and develop the Niger Delta region. He urges the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to focus on grassroots development, human capital development, and projects in villages across the region.

?He expressed gratitude to stakeholders of Niger Delta Youths For Good Governance for their support and encouragement, urging them ?to continue their good work.?
