“Tompolo’s generosity and love for humanity distinguish him as a leader of rare character,” Otuaro said, commending Edwin Clark University for honouring a figure whose impact resonates across the Niger Delta.

He urged other institutions to celebrate individuals who advance society through selfless service and prayed for continued wisdom, long life and strength for Tompolo.
