In our Student’s Week we had some of the following activities and events: 

1. We had our Old School Day, celebrated to commemorate our forefathers by dressing up in traditional attire in school 🏫  

2. We had our Rag Day, which is an event involving students going all out dressed in rags and attempting to raise funds for and draw awareness to the less privileged.    

3. We also played matches in all Departments in the Delta State Polytechnic Otefe Oghara for the Dean's Cup (also known as the Faculty Cup, SUG Cup, or Rector's Cup). 

4. Cultural Day Events: This event involved all the tribes coming out in their cultural attire, performing activities such as the Cultural Dance Masquerade, among other activities. The cultural day event is an opportunity for the various cultures to display their heritage. 

  

The Ijaw students came out in full force and made an exciting presentation of our cultural activities. 

Ijaw is our Heritage: Aah Izon! Izon kemefagha ane kemeemiya 

We give thanks to God for making our students week so colourful. We also appreciate the people of Ijaw for their support for the National Union of Izon Ebe Student*NUIS*

The Ijaw Peoples Association (IPA) of Great Britain and Ireland celebrated its 76th anniversary on Saturday 17th 2024 in London by having an Ijaw Day Celebration and Award night. The event also served as a fundraising opportunity for the proposed intent of acquiring a cultural center here in London for the awareness and promotion of the Ijaw culture as a whole. The target goal of the fundraising was £2 million, as several dignitaries were at hand to support the cause, celebrate the culture, and recognize the services of members of the community by the presentation of award plaques.

He died in 1968 at Ogu, near Okrika, in Rivers State.
