2023: Isoko Monarchs Endorse Bashorun Askia For House of Representatives, Say He’s Best Among Aspirants

 

Traditional rulers in Isoko Land have thrown their weights behind the aspiration of a formidable political leader in Isoko with wealth of experience in grassroots politics, Bashorun Askia Ogieh, in clinching the ticket to contest for the Isoko Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.

The traditional rulers who met at the palace of His Royal Majesty, Anthony Ovrawah, the Odio-ologbo of Oleh kingdom, who is the Chairman of Isoko South Traditional Rulers Council, unanimously endorsed Bashorun Askia Ogieh, saying that his past leadership records qualified him for the job.

It was a gathering of royal fathers, and other stakeholders from different kingdoms in Isoko nation.

It is indeed a joyous day a decision that would according to observers transform Isoko to her rightful place was taken.

The atmosphere was that of celebration, signifying a new dawn in Isoko nation.

Addressing the people on behalf of the Isoko monarchs, the Odio-logbo of Oleh, His Royal Majesty, Anthony Ovrawah, who said the kings in Isoko have unanimously agreed to back the aspirations of Bashorun Askia Ogieh, described him as the most qualified man with the necessary multicultural abilities to relate with other Nigerian tribes that would translate to major development in Isoko nation.

Speaking further, the Odio-logbo said it is the turn of the Isoko South to produce the representative of the Isoko’s at the Federal House of Representatives; according to him, they have decided to send Askia Ogieh, the Udu of Isoko nation.

While recounting the amount of development Bashorun Askia Ogieh has attracted to different kingdoms in Isoko with positions he occupied in the past, the Odio-logbo who expressed satisfaction, said all kings in Isoko are behind him.

On

The Oleh monarch asked all sons and daughters of Isoko to go back to their various kingdoms and begin to preach the good works of Askia to every nuke and cranny, saying that Askia is a worthy son of Isoko who has used his positions to attract countless numbers of developmental projects to Isoko.

Speaking earlier, the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Bashorun Askia Ogieh, said he possessed the intellectual and leadership qualities to give the good people of Isoko the desired representation at the green chambers, adding that the development of Isoko nation will remain his topmost priority.

Highlighting his achievement as the chairman, Isoko South Local Government Area Council, and Chairman, Delta state Institute of Continue Education Board, Bashorun Askia said he established the Uzere Cassava Mill, the first industry ever built in Isoko nation and also upgraded the then study centre of I.C.E in Oleh to zonal headquarters.

While highlighting the projects he attracted to Isoko as the Executive Director, Finance and Administration, DESOPADEC, and as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, DESOPADEC, Bashorun Askia said his performances are far beyond the capability of finances that accrued to Isoko as oil bearing ethnic nationality.

If given the opportunity to represent the people of Isoko at the house of representative, Bashorun Askia said he shall put Isoko first in all his activities as member House of Representatives.

Lamenting the absence of Federal Government Institutions in the entire Isoko nation, Bashorun Askia said his mission to the Green Chambers is to address the decades of neglect Isoko, an oil producing ethnic nationality have since suffered from the central government.

According to him, he will lobby and rely on the advantage of his multicultural nature to secure major developmental projects to Isoko Nation.

Appealing to other aspirant who hails from Isoko South Local Government Area, Bashorun Askia urged them to join him to make Isoko great again. Askia also called for the unity of the good people of Isoko North and South, urging the North to support the South this time around having enjoyed the position for twenty uninterrupted years.

Bashorun Askia Ogieh, who explained one of his campaign slogans “Oscripto Oscripto”, beckoned on the royal fathers to call the entire aspirant together and advice them on the way forward, to avoid wasting hard earn monies for campaigns.

Praying for Bashorun Askia Ogieh, on behalf of all the Isoko kings, the Odio-ologbo of Oleh Kingdom, HRM Anthony Ovrawah, said “Isoko is behind you, go and represent us and bring development.”

 

 

PTI, JFD partners to Train Divers on IMCA DMT Course

The Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, the foremost oil and gas training  institution and the first diving school in the sub Sahara Africa has concluded plans to host  Diver Medical Technician (DMT) Course.

The DMT programme which will be certified by International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA), will be hosted in partnership with JFD, UK and James Fishers Nigeria as technical partners. 

In a statement signed by the Director/Chief Coordinator PTI Offshore Technology and Energy Centre (OTEC), Dr. Michael Adegbite, noted that while JFD provides the technicalities needed for the DMT, the PTI will provide the training facilities. 

According to him, "JFD is a global leading underwater capability provider while Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) is a technological based institution that provides quality training, research and consultancy for the oil & gas and allied industries. In this new partnership, PTI will provide the facilities needed for the training while JFD will provide the equipment, materials and skills needed while IMCA will award the certificate after the pilot training.

The Chief Coordinator explained that the DMT which will run as a full programme starting from May, 2022, the certificate obtained will be renewable after two years by IMCA. 

"This is highly needed because commercial divers primarily make use of DMT in offshore situations when they are far away from hospitals and places for medical treatment given the nature of their job. DMT is essential as it ensures the safety of the entire team, proactively identifying hazards, assessing divers' needs and executing underwater emergency responses", he stated. 

According to Dr. Adegbite, "This pilot course will run for 10days. Our technical partners, JFD, will provide the instructions, the courses would be streamed online, while the demonstration will be carried out here. With these technical partners in place, we will be able to train the divers while IMCA will issue the certificate". 

Meanwhile, a Dive Centre of Excellence (DCoE) has been approved by the Federal Government, empowering the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company limited (SNEPCo) to fund the construction and equipment of the centre which will be located in PTI, Osubi campus.

Also, the PTI technical partners, JFD will equally collaborate with the Institute in running the DCoE. The Centre when fully in operation will allow the Institute to train divers across multiple courses to international standard. 

It will be recalled that the PTI Diving School was established in 1988, and commissioned in 1989 with initial capacity to train Commercial Divers.

The Chief Coordinator explained that the DMT which will run as a full programme starting from May, 2022, the certificate obtained will be renewable after two years by IMCA. 

"This is highly needed because commercial divers primarily make use of DMT in offshore situations when they are far away from hospitals and places for medical treatment given the nature of their job. DMT is essential as it ensures the safety of the entire team, proactively identifying hazards, assessing divers' needs and executing underwater emergency responses", he stated. 

According to Dr. Adegbite, "This pilot course will run for 10days. Our technical partners, JFD, will provide the instructions, the courses would be streamed online, while the demonstration will be carried out here. With these technical partners in place, we will be able to train the divers while IMCA will issue the certificate". 

Meanwhile, a Dive Centre of Excellence (DCoE) has been approved by the Federal Government, empowering the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company limited (SNEPCo) to fund the construction and equipment of the centre which will be located in PTI, Osubi campus.

Also, the PTI technical partners, JFD will equally collaborate with the Institute in running the DCoE. The Centre when fully in operation will allow the Institute to train divers across multiple courses to international standard. 

It will be recalled that the PTI Diving School was established in 1988, and commissioned in 1989 with initial capacity to train Commercial Divers.
