The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum (IPF) has joined calls from Niger Delta stakeholders for the removal of the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe, accusing him of incompetence, abuse of office, and ethnic bias. In a statement jointly signed by National President Comrade Ozobo Austin, Spokesman Comrade Kagbala Ezekiel, and Secretary Comrade Tare Magei, the group alleged that Ogbe has failed to promote President Bola Tinubu’s renewed agenda and instead uses his position to advance an Itsekiri-centric agenda. The IPF claimed Ogbe has turned the NCDMB into what they described as a “private enterprise” serving the Olu of Warri, favouring only Itsekiri individuals in employment and empowerment initiatives. They further alleged that his actions have fuelled fresh tensions in Warri and undermined the Board’s mandate to promote Nigerian content in the oil and gas sector. According to the group, the NCDMB was established to boost Nigerian participation in oil and gas activities, integrate host communities into the value chain, build local capacity, and link the sector to other areas of the economy. However, they argued that Ogbe has neglected these responsibilities, refusing to engage Ijaw and Urhobo stakeholders while allegedly diverting resources to sponsor ethnic militia groups against these communities. The forum warned that such conduct not only breaches the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act but also poses a serious threat to peace in the Niger Delta. The IPF urged President Tinubu to urgently sack Ogbe, stressing that his removal would restore public confidence in the NCDMB and ensure the Board serves the national interest rather than personal or ethnic agendas. The group also called for a monitoring framework to hold NCDMB officials accountable, insisting that the Board’s resources and programmes must benefit all Nigerians equally. They concluded with a warning: if their demands are ignored, they would mobilize for what they termed “the mother of all protests” to shut down the NCDMB headquarters in Bayelsa State.
