By Passman Akpos
In an electrifying moment of triumph and pride, the entire Ijaw Nation has gone agog as two towering figures — Hon. Julius G. Pondi and High Chief Dr. Chris Ekiyor — ascend into the rarefied league of the highly educated, following the conferment of their prestigious Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees.
This monumental academic breakthrough has sparked jubilation from the creeks to the cities, as the Ijaw National Congress (INC) Western Zone salutes these distinguished sons whose brilliance and dedication have once again placed Ijaw greatness on the global map.
In a powerful congratulatory message, Barr. Priye Noel Kuete, LL.M., Chairman INC–Western Zone (Delta, Edo & Ondo States), described the achievement as a “shining testament to diligence, vision and unwavering commitment to excellence.”
He declared that the entire Ijaw Nation stands united in celebration of this milestone — a victory of intellect, perseverance, and patriotic pride.
As the drums of celebration echo across the Niger Delta, many see this achievement not merely as personal advancement, but as a clarion call to greater leadership, deeper service, and transformational stewardship for the Ijaw people.
With heads held high and hearts full of pride, the Ijaw people say: Congratulations, Dr. Pondi! Congratulations, Dr. Ekiyor! This academic conquest marks a new era of influence, wisdom and national inspiration.
