The Director of Administration, General Services, and Head of Personnel Management (HPM) of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area in Rivers State, Comrade Tamunoimama Wosely, has been honoured with the prestigious Niger Delta Journalists Award as the Most Distinguished HPM of the Year.
Presenting the award, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Niger Delta Journalists Forum, Mr. Joseph Asomeji, noted that Comrade Wosely was selected after a rigorous evaluation process. This included assessments of her administrative competence, staff relations, employee engagement, and the quality of service delivery.
Also speaking at the event, Deputy BOT Chairman, Mr. Kennedy Wedeh (Jnr), emphasized the organization's ongoing philanthropic efforts, including the distribution of educational materials like exercise books to schools and other impactful outreach activities.
In her acceptance speech, Comrade Wosely highlighted the critical role of institutions in nation-building. She asserted that no sustainable economic growth can occur in a society where government institutions are weak or ineffective.
“All over the world, it is the viability of institutions that regulates the economy and human behaviour,” she stated. “It is regrettable that in Nigeria, individuals often wield more power than the institutions meant to guide governance and accountability.”
She also called on journalists to remain conscious of the solemn responsibility they bear, stressing that their work directly influences public policy, governance, and societal values.
While expressing gratitude to the association for the honour, Comrade Wosely pledged to collaborate with them in their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects aimed at uplifting the community.
A native of Ogu Kingdom in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area, the seasoned, unblemished career civil servant described the award as a further call to deepen her commitment to charity—an area she said has always been close to her heart.
The event took place on Monday, July 28, 2025, at her office in the Obio/Akpor Council Secretariat. It was well attended by council staff, colleagues, and well-wishers.
Highlights of the ceremony included:
Official presentation of the award plaque
Goodwill messages from her immediate staff
Solidarity songs
Presentation of a booklet of collated achievements
Decoration and group photographs
