The council also honoured McCarthy Oritsetseyigbemi Jessy, the winner of the 2025 NDLEA National Award, and Adekunle Oluwasegun David, a talented young saxophonist, as Warri Brand Ambassadors. The Chairman of Warri South council, Comrade Agbateyiniro Weyinmi Isaac, stated, “Excellence pays. Doing the right thing pays. If people are not rewarded for doing good, they might think their efforts are in vain.”

The scholarship recipients will receive the following awards:

– Ebule Oritsemeyiwa Precious: a full four-year university scholarship

– McCarthy Oritsetseyigbemi Jessy: ₦2,139,000 to cover her 2025 tuition

– Adekunle Oluwasegun David: ₦500,000 to support his education and musical career

The council also recognised Mr Jolly Omatie, a volunteer teacher who has served Ukpotiki Primary School for years without pay, with a monthly stipend of ₦77,000. Agbateyiniro said the initiative reflects the spirit of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, which prioritises merit-based development and grassroots connection.

“The Warri brand must be represented by individuals who embody excellence and integrity,” Agbateyiniro emphasised. “Those that are going to be in charge of this brand must be people of merit. If we find any of you acting outside the values of excellence, you will be stripped of this honour. We want others to emulate you.”

The teenage ambassadors expressed gratitude to the council for the honour bestowed on them and pledged to live up to the expectations of their new roles. Notably, Ebule has also aced his core subjects in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), with impressive grades in Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, General Mathematics, and Technical Drawing.
