N’Delta billionaire Lawuru to honor Ijaw Media Conference as guest of honour Dec 17

By Monday Peters, Abuja

The President of Egbema Brotherhood, Alaowei Promise Lawuru, has accepted to serve as a Guest of Honour at the forthcoming Ijaw Media Conference 2025.

The annual event in its second edition is put together by Ijaw Publishers Forum, with the theme “Safeguarding Niger Delta’s Natural Resources for Future Generations”.

The youthful politician and businessman received an invitation to serve the role on Monday when a delegation of the Central Working Committee led by Pastor Arex Akemotubo paid him a courtesy visit on Monday.

In his presentation, Akemotubo explained that this year’s theme was chosen out of concern for the growing strain on the region’s land and waters.

The Publisher of WaffiTV stressed that the forum wants to strengthen public understanding, support honest reporting, and encourage leaders to protect what the Niger Delta holds for the next generation, adding that Lawuru’s history of service and steady involvement in community work made him a natural choice for the role.

Chief Lawuru welcomed the invitation and spoke warmly about the need for shared responsibility among stakeholders and groups such as the IPF.

He commended the Forum for using the media to defend the region’s interests and promised full support for the conference.

Lawuru further urged other stakeholders across the Ijaw nation to lend their weight to efforts that safeguard the environment.
