The highly anticipated Ijaw Media Conference and annual dialogue 2024 which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday December 11, 2024 would address the continued economic, environmental and political injustice in Ijaw nation and Niger Delta at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was gathered that the gathering would feature the Ernest Ikoli Personality Award to honour deserving Ijaw sons and daughters who have paid the supreme price in the media industry and the advocacy for economic, environmental and political justice in Ijaw nation and Niger Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the conference tagged Ijaw media conference 2024 would be held at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is also designed to promote discussions on economic advancement, foster networking opportunities, and empower media professionals within the Ijaw nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event which themed “Advancing the Quest for Economic, environmental and political justice is anticipated to draw participation from influential figures in both public and private media sectors, government officials, traditional leaders, business executives from the Niger Delta, as well as youth-focused and educational organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement by the Ijaw Publishers’ Forum, IPF’s national president Comrade Ozobo Austin said the event seeks innovative, locally-driven strategies for the economic growth and development of the Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the organisers the conference will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and presentations on various topics, including media representation, community development, and advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meantime, the Ernest Ikoli Personality Award, which is a highlight of the event, will recognize and honour outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of the Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The award is named after the late Ernest Ikoli, a renowned Ijaw journalist, Editor, publisher and activist who championed the cause of the Niger Delta and Nigeria people in the ’80s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event promised to be an exciting and enlightening experience, and attendees are expected to include media professionals, leaders, and stakeholders from across the Niger Delta region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
