NDDC Launches Anti-Cultism Campaign for Students in Akwa Ibom

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) launched an anti-cultism campaign aimed at secondary school students in Akwa Ibom on a Friday, with the theme "Educate, Peace, Unity, Greater Niger Delta." The campaign, in collaboration with Bamor Fountain Limited, seeks to address the growing concern of cult-related activities among teenagers. NDDC Director of Alternative Dispute Resolution, Godwil Ayewumi Ogedegb, represented the commission at the event, emphasizing the need to uplift the Niger Delta region through enhanced livelihood, education, healthcare, and socio-economic conditions.

Dr. Festu Erewel from Bamor Fountain Limited warned that cultism destroys lives and disrupts academic pursuits, urging students to remain vigilant against suspicious groups.

Prof. Ubong Umoh, representing the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Education, commended the initiative, encouraging students to focus on their studies and become positive ambassadors in their communities.

The campaign aims to promote peace and coexistence in the Niger Delta region.
