The Host Communities Producing Oil, Gas and Pipeline-Impacted States Youth Council of Nigeria (HOSTCON Youth Council) celebrated High Chief Dr Akpos Mezeh Andy on his birthday, commending his significant contributions to the Ijaw Nation and oil and gas host communities in the Niger Delta. Andy serves as the general manager of community relations and consultant at Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL).

The council, through spokesperson Snr Comr Emmanuel Fiawei Pathfinder, praised Andy for his advocacy for the rights and welfare of the Ijaw people, highlighting his leadership roles in the Ijaw Youth Council, particularly as chairman of the Western Zone and as a pioneer leader among the Ijaw diaspora in the United Kingdom. His efforts in mobilizing support for the late former Bayelsa State governor, Chief Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha, were also noted.

The council acknowledged Andy's initiatives in employment generation, youth and women's empowerment, and community infrastructure, which have fostered development and improved relations between oil and gas operators and host communities. They prayed for his continued health and success in community development and peacebuilding.
