Through his visionary leadership and his agenda for sustainable development, he has played a crucial role in reshaping the narrative of the Niger Delta.

Stakeholder Engagements

Dr. Otuaro emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and collaboration among all stakeholders in the region. His administration has fostered increased engagements with local communities, traditional leaders, civil society, and governmental bodies.

Alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda

By promoting environmentally friendly practices and policies, he ensures that the natural resources of the Niger Delta are utilized responsibly.
