Our Achievements in 2025

We are thrilled to share the remarkable strides our organization has made in driving positive change and empowering communities through youth engagement and impactful initiatives.

Reducing Oil Bunkering Activities

As of January 2025, our youth sensitization programs have played a pivotal role in curbing oil bunkering activities, contributing to increased oil production in Nigeria. This achievement aligns with the recent announcement by OPEC, celebrating Nigeria as the second-largest oil producer. This milestone underscores the power of youth-driven community engagement in fostering national development.

Sports Talent Development

Through the Upata Unity Cup, organized in collaboration with our partners, we have unearthed exceptional football talents. Notably, four Orashi youth have joined the prestigious De Cardinal Football Academy, affiliated with Rivers United Club. This initiative highlights our commitment to nurturing young talent and promoting sports as a pathway to success.

Solar Lighting Initiative

To address infrastructure challenges, we have installed over 170 solar lights across Ekpeye communities. This initiative not only enhances security but also improves the quality of life for residents. Plans are underway to expand this project, further illuminating our communities and fostering sustainable development.

Community Engagement & Supporting the Vulnerable

Our dedication to uplifting widows and the underprivileged remains unwavering. From providing essential resources to running impactful community programs, we prioritize the well-being of our people, ensuring no one is left behind. Community involvement is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with  Government, Companies, Traditional Council, HRM & HRHs, Stakeholders, Community chiefs, and other meaningful partners. These strong partnerships ensure active participation and sustainable impact.
