Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, in due recognition of this worthy feat, has honoured Nigeria’s gospel music icon, Asu Ekiye, as the Ijaw Language Ambassador for the State.
The Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, in a statement stated that Governor Diri, was dazzled in Yenagoa recently during Ekiye’s stellar musical performance at his debut concert and album launch, tagged “Ebikamo Experience 2025”.

According the Governor, appointment of Ekiye, who is the International President of Federation of Gospel Music Ministers of Nigeria, FOGMMON, was in recognition of his effort to preserve Ijaw language through his music and that was in line with his administration’s vision to ensure the language does not go extinct.
Describing the musician’s passion for preserving the language as commendable, he said his administration has trained Ijaw teachers and would do more to promote the language.

“On behalf of our government of assured prosperity, I want to say a big thank you to you and your team. They say a prophet is not recognised in his hometown but here you are acceptable. When you are blessed by God, nobody can take it. Haa Izon! is a call for unity and not a call for war.

“I am happy with your success story as an Ijaw gospel musician and I have, therefore, appointed you as Ambassador of Ijaw Language. My office will write you.
