As the Ijaw Nation and the entire Niger Delta region commemorate the birthday of one of its most revered sons, High Chief (Dr.) Oweizide Government Ekpemupolo (popularly known as Tompolo), tributes continue to pour in from across Nigeria and beyond, hailing him as a beacon of culture, peace, and progress.
Among the many well-wishers is Mr. Jackson Embale and Family, who have penned a heartfelt tribute celebrating the iconic leader’s unwavering dedication to his people and country.
“High Chief Oweizide Ekpemupolo, your birthday is not just a personal celebration—it is a moment to honour the rich legacy you are building for generations to come,” the tribute read.
High Chief Ekpemupolo is widely respected for his enduring efforts in reviving and preserving the rich traditions of the Ijaw people. As a proud custodian of culture, he has played a pivotal role in restoring indigenous practices, strengthening identity, and promoting unity among the people of the Niger Delta.
Through the Tompolo Foundation, his philanthropic strides have transformed lives and uplifted entire communities. From educational empowerment to healthcare and infrastructure, his generosity continues to impact the most vulnerable in society.
Equally notable is his strategic contribution to the nation’s economic stability. As a principal figure in Nigeria’s oil sector security, his leadership of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL) has been instrumental in curbing oil theft, ensuring stability, and fostering peace in the region.
“Your tireless efforts to stabilize Nigeria’s oil production are unparalleled… Tantita Security stands as a testament to your vision, protecting critical national assets while fostering prosperity,” the statement from Embale & Family continued.
On this special occasion, the Embale family salutes Tompolo as “a man of honour, a custodian of peace, and a steadfast advocate for progress,” whose legacy continues to resonate across the Niger Delta and beyond.
“May your life continue to shine brightly as a symbol of peace, leadership and hope for all,” they concluded.
As celebrations unfold, the birthday of High Chief Ekpemupolo is more than a festivity—it is a reminder of a lifetime of service, sacrifice, and steadfast commitment to the growth and unity of the Ijaw Nation and Nigeria at large.
Happy Birthday, High Chief (Dr.) Oweizide Ekpemupolo – Tompolo!
