The appointment of the Dr. Pius Egberannwen Odubu is an illustration of the words of Rubbert Schuyler that “Tough times never last but tough people do.’
It is also a manifestation of the bible in the book of Ecclesiastic 3:1 that ” there is a time for everything…” The appointment is very strategic, apt, timely and worth celebrating.
This appointment is very historic because this is the first time an Edo man is being appointed to that top office in NDDC since it’s Creation by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2000.
It is also very historic because the appointment of this Orhionmwon born politician into that top office has automatically set in motion the rebirth of a vibrant commission poised to guarantee sustainable development in the Niger Delta.
This appointment came at a time when everyone thought the Commission had outlived it responsibilities and has failed to deliver on the core purpose for its establishment.
Dr. Pius Odubu a man of grace who served excellently as a two time member of the House of Representatives, a two time deputy Governor who does not only have the necessary political experience to transform the commission but also well placed intellectually, socially, strategically and physically to guarantee a turn around in the Commission.
Dr. Pius Odubu, a doctor of Law, born without a silver spoon but took the road less travelled by; and today the difference is clear. He is humble to the core, charismatic with an uncommon mien of Calmness and Loyalty, which some persons who really don’t know him have wrongly misrepresented to be dullness.
This appointment is a hope for a true renaissance of the Niger Delta as the right man for the job has arrived. His arrival brings on board endless possibilities for the men, women, youths and children from the Oil reach region. It is time to rejoice and celebrate for the right man has come.
Congratulations, our dear and beloved, Dr. Pius Egberanmwen Odubu. May your tenure be peaceful and successful.
