Hon. Okpoye during the visit hailed the IPF's initiatives, describing it as a "timely intervention" that provides a platform for meaningful discussions on entrepreneurship, job creation, and environmental safety in the Niger Delta region.

This significant development underscores the IPF's commitment to promoting economic and political development and media excellence in the Ijaw Nation and the Niger Delta region as the conference promises to foster economic discourse and empower indigenous media professionals.

The pioneer media conference also aims to unite leaders and stakeholders of the Ijaw Nation as well as to explore innovative solutions for the economic growth of the Niger Delta region at large.

The conference is expected to attract high-level participation from government officials, media practitioners, and stakeholders in the Ijaw Nation.
