THE Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr Dennis Otuaro, has congratulated High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, on his conferment with an honorary Doctor of Laws (LLD) degree by Edwin Clark University, Kiagbodo, Delta State.
Tompolo received the honour during the institution’s 4th–7th combined convocation ceremonies, in acknowledgement of his outstanding contributions to peacebuilding, community development, and educational advancement in the Niger Delta.
Dr Otuaro described the award as richly deserved, noting that Tompolo has consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication to the peace, progress, and stability of the Niger Delta and the nation as a whole.
According to him, Tompolo’s unwavering support for dialogue, community engagement, and non-violent conflict resolution has played a pivotal role in strengthening national security and fostering economic stability.
He added that beyond his peacebuilding efforts, Tompolo has shown remarkable compassion and philanthropy, particularly through humanitarian initiatives that continue to uplift communities across the region.
Otuaro further highlighted Tompolo’s significant investments in education and youth empowerment, stating that his donations of critical infrastructure to various institutions serve as clear proof of his deep commitment to the growth and future of his people.
“Tompolo’s good heart, generosity, and love for humanity distinguish him as a leader of rare character,” Otuaro said.
He commended Edwin Clark University for recognising and celebrating a figure whose influence continues to resonate across the Niger Delta and beyond, urging other institutions to emulate such gestures that honour individuals committed to societal advancement.
Dr Otuaro prayed for God’s continued guidance, long life, and strength for High Chief Ekpemupolo as he continues to serve the Niger Delta and Nigeria with dignity, wisdom, and compassion.
