The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum (IPF) recently met with the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Dan Alabrah to strategize ahead of their upcoming conference. This crucial meeting is part of the IPF’s ongoing stakeholders’ engagement, aimed at ensuring the success of the December 11, conference at Banquet hall, Government House, Bayelsa State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference, themed “Advancing the Quest for Economic\/Political Freedom in a Siege Nation,” promised to be a groundbreaking event, fostering economic discourse and empowering media professionals. The IPF had been actively engaging with key stakeholders, including traditional rulers and government officials, to mobilize support and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPF delegation led by its president Comrade Ozobo Austin discussed vital aspects of the conference, including logistics, security, and content. The Chief Press Secretary, representing the Governor’s office, assured the IPF of the state government’s commitment to develop Bayelsa State and as well as supporting the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference is particularly significant, given Bayelsa State a spotlight for political and economic discourse. The IPF’s efforts align with the state’s vision for progress and unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPF’s proactive approach to engaging stakeholders had generated excitement and anticipation for the conference. With the support of the Bayelsa State Government and other key partners, this event is poised to make a lasting impact on the Ijaw nation and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
