In addition to his focus on youth employment, Pondi has extended his support to vulnerable groups within the region, including mothers, widows, the elderly, and the sick. His charitable actions have made a significant impact, providing essential resources and assistance to those in need.

Akiefa urged other leaders and organizations to emulate Pondi’s example, calling for a collective effort to address the socio-economic challenges faced by the Niger Delta region. 

“We need more leaders like High Chief Pondi who are willing to invest in our people and our future,” he said. “Together, we can create a more prosperous and equitable society for all.”
