The Movement for the Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta MOSIEND, has encouraged youths to be ambassadors of peace and development and work towards making the region a first-choice global business destination.
The group also appealed to the youths to avoid activities that could tarnish the image of the image.
MOSIEND National President, Mr Kennedy Tonjo West, gave this charge on Thursday, April 17, 2025, while he was congratulating the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, who was honoured with the “African Public Service Award” by the African Heritage Awards in Morocco.
West lauded Ogbuku for what he described as his visionary and people-centric leadership, which he said has catalyzed rapid socioeconomic and infrastructural development across the Niger Delta.
He reaffirmed the group’s support for the NDDC boss and his administration and pledged to partner with Ogbuku in driving positive change and sustainable development across the region.
The leader of the foremost Niger Delta mass mobilization group said, “Ogbuku’s administration is a transformational force, shifting the Commission’s focus from “transaction to transformation.
