NTF President, Victor Ochei, Eulogises Senator Peter Onyeluka Nwaoboshi
Cyril Ogar
The President of the Nigeria Tennis Federation (NTF), Rt Hon. Victor Ochei, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of his elder brother and friend, Distinguished Senator Peter Onyeluka Nwaoboshi, describing him as a statesman whose life of service left an enduring legacy.
Ochei said Senator Nwaoboshi was a proud son of Ibusa and a committed leader whose contributions significantly impacted Delta North, Delta State and Nigeria at large. He noted that although they sometimes stood on different political platforms, their shared journey was defined by friendship, mutual respect and an unwavering commitment to the progress of their people.
Recalling their last meeting, Ochei said they met on 29 November 2025 at the funeral service of the father of former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Joseph Ezeoba (rtd), where they exchanged warm greetings as usual.
When he did not see the senator at the reception, he placed a call the following day, during which Nwaoboshi mentioned he was unwell—unaware that it would be their final conversation.
During the call, Ochei revealed that he suggested a meeting of Delta North political leaders before the end of the year. Senator Nwaoboshi, who said he would be unavailable in December, asked Ochei to convene the meeting on his behalf, referring to him as second in command.
Though Ochei insisted on the importance of his presence, they agreed that January 2026 would be a more suitable time, ending the conversation with hopes of meeting again.
“Today, I mourn a man of courage, conviction and loyalty,” Ochei said. “Beyond politics, Peter was warm, thoughtful and genuinely committed to the welfare of his people.
His passing is a painful loss to Delta North and to all who knew him.”
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the Nwaoboshi family, the people of Delta North and everyone touched by the late senator’s life, praying that his soul rests in peace and that his memory remains a blessing.
“Farewell, my big brother,” Ochei concluded

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
