High Chief (Dr.) Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to peace, security, and sustainable development in Delta State as he officially launched the Delta State Security Trust Fund in Asaba.
Speaking at the event held at Government House, Asaba, where he served as Chief Launcher, Tompolo described the initiative as a strategic investment in peace, progress, and protection of lives and property.
He commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and the State Security Council for their foresight in establishing a framework that fosters public, private partnership to address the evolving security challenges in the state.
“Security is the cornerstone of sustainable development. No community, investor, or government can thrive in an atmosphere of insecurity,” Tompolo stated.
According to him, the Fund signifies more than a financial intervention — it embodies a collective commitment to building a safer, stronger, and more resilient Delta State.
Tompolo, who has played a significant role in promoting peace and security within the Niger Delta region, emphasized that ensuring lasting safety requires adequate resources and genuine collaboration among all stakeholders.
“As citizens and stakeholders, it is our collective duty to support this Fund with sincerity and commitment,” he urged.
He pledged his personal and continuous support, describing his contribution as both symbolic and practical — a reaffirmation of his enduring partnership for a peaceful and prosperous Delta.
Expressing optimism about the future, Tompolo envisioned a state “where people live without fear, where children can dream freely, and where development flourishes unhindered.”
The event, which drew top government officials, security chiefs, traditional rulers, and business leaders, also marked Tompolo’s first major public appearance in over a decade, attracting significant attention across the Niger Delta region
