In a letter of appreciation to the President, Tompolo expressed his heartfelt thanks for the endorsement of the Act, stating that it has given full legal backing to the institution and validated the hopes and aspirations of the people of the Niger Delta.
“Your signing of the 2025 Act has given full legal backing to the institution .The Nigeria Maritime University, established in 2014, had been struggling to reach its full potential due to the absence of an enabling Act. But with your decision, the university can now thrive, providing the necessary legal framework for its operations.
“Your visionary leadership has bridged the gap in maritime education in West Africa, where Ghana was previously the only country with a Maritime University. Nigeria is now poised to improve its capacity and manpower in the maritime sector, bringing development to the oil and gas communities in the Niger Delta and curbing youth restiveness in the region.
“Once again, we express our sincere appreciation for this landmark achievement. Your leadership has rekindled enthusiasm amongst Niger Deltans, and we are confident that your government will continue to prioritize the development of the Niger Delta”, he said.
