The Niger Delta reverberated with goodwill today as the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), High Chief (Dr.) Dennis Burutu Otuaro, Ph.D., marked his birthday amid glowing tributes from associates, stakeholders, and admirers across the region.
Leading the chorus of celebration was the Head of Education of the PAP, Dr. Charles Ariye, who paid heartfelt homage to his boss, describing him as “a leader of rare vision and courage whose work continues to redefine the future of the Amnesty Programme and the lives of Niger Delta youths.”
Dr. Ariye further stated: “I warmly celebrate High Chief Dr. Dennis Otuaro today, not just as a boss but as a statesman and reformer whose humility, intellect, and commitment to peace inspire confidence in all who work with him. Serving under his leadership is an honour and a privilege.”
The occasion of Otuaro’s birthday quickly became a platform for reflection on his leadership, with several voices across the Niger Delta applauding his efforts to reposition the PAP as a vehicle for empowerment, reintegration, and peacebuilding.
In his response, High Chief Otuaro, visibly moved by the accolades, thanked all who joined in honouring him and assured that his administration would sustain reforms aimed at delivering genuine empowerment and stability in the region.
Analysts note that the volume of goodwill surrounding Otuaro’s birthday underscores not only his rising profile in national discourse but also his role as a unifying figure whose leadership continues to resonate far beyond the PAP.
