Otuaro also acknowledged the pivotal role of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), headed by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, for its “tireless efforts” and contributions to the successful implementation of the programme.
Reaffirming his policy of inclusivity, he assured Niger Delta stakeholders—particularly women—that empowerment initiatives would continue, as they too “were casualties in the struggle” and must be integrated into the ongoing development drive.
He urged participants to fully engage with the training and avoid distractions, adding that the acquired knowledge would enhance their capacity to act as conflict mediators and regional leaders.
