The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum has announced the second edition of its annual Ijaw Media Conference themed "Safeguarding Oil and Gas Natural Resources for Future Generations in the Niger Delta" slated for Thursday, December 11, 2025.

The second edition of the conference is scheduled to take place at KFT Place along NNPC Housing Complex Road, Ekpan, beginning from 12 noon.

In a statement signed by the IPF National President, Comrade Ozobo Austin, the Forum noted that the Conference is intended to strengthen public understanding of the dangers of oil theft, unchecked exploitation, and environmental pollution. 

The statement highlighted the severe harm these practices continue to inflict on the region, affecting both ecological systems and human communities, and hindering long-term development.

The 2025 planning committee, chaired by Pastor Arex Akemotubo, has been charged with ensuring a successful programme. 

Other members of the committee are Tare Magei, Secretary; Francis Abai, Financial Secretary; while other members are Ezekiel Kagbala, Sunday Daniel, Mike Ugedi, Dr. Kegbe, Sam Dogitimi, and Tam Okumbiri.

The Forum urged leaders, stakeholders, and young people to work with relevant authorities and security groups to support continued public awareness efforts aimed at protecting the region’s natural resources and the wellbeing of its inhabitants.

The IPF also invites all stakeholders and the wider public to attend the Conference on December 11.
