The PAP Administrator attributed the admirable academic achievements of the scholarship students to President Tinubu's strong support for the programme and the effective supervisory role of the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.
He called on current PAP scholarship beneficiaries in different universities to emulate their predecessors and study hard to maintain the impressive academic record.
Otuaro said, "We are indeed happy with the excellent academic performances of our scholarship students in 2025. The number of beneficiaries, all from the Niger Delta, who made first-class and second-class upper division, is very encouraging. We commend all of them for the great feats.
"But these commendable academic achievements indicate that we are focused on the implementation of the PAP mandate for the transformation of the Niger Delta through educational and vocational schemes.
"We express our deep appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Without his strong support, these impressive academic feats of our scholarship students and all the success stories recorded would not have been achieved.
"We also extend our sincere gratitude to the Office of the National Security Adviser for effectively supervising the programme in line with Mr. President's Renewed Hope Agenda for the people of the Niger Delta.
"We have a listening father in Mr. President who has shown it clearly in his actions that the Niger Delta is on his priority list of development. He has given priority to agencies in the region aside from the ongoing efforts in the construction of the trans-Niger Delta Highway from Lagos to Calabar.
"The people of the Niger Delta are happy with Mr. President and what his administration is doing for the region, and will react in due course with the right expression of gratitude."
