ABUJA, Dec 20, (THEWILL) - The Institute of Arts and Science of The Commonwealth University Belize, has awarded the Doctor of the University in Humanities to Mr. Ebikabowei Victor Ben (alias Boyloaf) for his contributions in Peace and Conflict Resolutions in Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region.

Dr. Michael Addison, Principal of the Albion College London and Chancellor of the Commonwealth University Belize made the presentation at a colourful award presentation during its Graduation and Convocation Ceremony which took place in Dubai over the weekend.

“Dr. Ebikabowei Victor Ben’s devotion to the advancement of peace in the Niger Delta, his tested resolve to the use of non-violence in resolving differences, his belief in democratic freedom and the defense of fundamental human rights endeared him to the Senate of the University,” Professor Duncan of the college was quoted to have said.

In a citation read before his investiture, Professor Bruce R. Duncan, Provost of the London Graduate School, Albion College, said the significance of the Niger Delta resistance led by General Boyloaf as he was then known was creation of the Niger Delta Ministry, increased and adequate funding of the Niger Delta Development Commission and most important the increased participation of Niger Deltans in the affairs of Nigeria, which led first to the selection of a Niger Delta Son as the running mate to the late President of Nigeria, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and subsequent election into the office of Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In the aftermath of the Federal Government unilateral declaration of ceasefire and proclamation of amnesty, when most Niger Delta Resistance Fighters doubted the government’s sincerity, Boyloaf was the first Niger Delta freedom fighter to come out to embrace the amnesty.

The public surrender of his war chest and demobilization of his soldiers was the much needed fillip that spurred other MEND Commanders to embrace the amnesty programme.

The Honourable Minister of State for Niger Delta, Mr. Sam Ode was also awarded a Doctorate Degree of the Commonwealth University.
