The CWC Chairman further praised the security chief for his longstanding contributions to the protection of lives and property in the region, noting that his influence would add depth to the conference deliberations.
Responding, Chief Opudu lauded the Ijaw Publishers Forum for its commitment to promoting the true narrative of the Ijaw struggle and identity.
