Dr. Otuaro, a well-respected figure in the region, has been at the forefront of transforming the amnesty program since his appointment. His commitment to the well-being of ex-agitators and his unwavering efforts to ensure the program's continuity have earned him widespread respect and admiration from various quarters, particularly within the Urhobo community.

As the PAP Administrator marks another year of life, the Urhobo ex-militants expressed their best wishes for his continued success and well-being. They reiterated their full support for his leadership and assured him of their commitment to the goals of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

In conclusion, the Urhobo Ex-Agitators emphasized the importance of sustained peace and development in the Niger Delta and called on all stakeholders to rally behind Dr. Otuaro’s leadership. "We celebrate this day with Dr. Dennis Otuaro and urge all those who believe in the future of the Niger Delta to continue supporting his efforts in driving the region towards greater heights," the statement concluded.

Dr. Otuaro, a distinguished academic and peace advocate, is renowned for his relentless efforts in advocating for the rights and welfare of the Niger Delta people.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
