67 Ex-militants Withdrawn From Cyprus School by Nobody: 9:27am On Feb 25, 2013 |
Several months after they were withdrawn from their training school in Cyprus, 67 amnesty trainees are to undergo a fresh selection test to determine their eligibility for placement in new institutions abroad. The affected Niger Delta ex-militants, who signed up for the Amnesty Programme in 2009, were sent to study various skills at Inter College, Larnaca, Cyprus, in 2011 but were withdrawn last December and asked to return home when Nigeria discovered that the school was not accredited to offer the courses it was offering to the trainees. Vanguard’s finding reveals that the Kingsley Kuku-led Presidential Amnesty Programme was misled by one of its vendors to select the Cyprus school. The trainees, it was gathered, were withdrawn when it became clear to the Amnesty Programme that the certificates to be issued to the students at the end of their programmes would not be honoured by prospective employers. The affected students have, however, become agitated since they returned to Nigeria and have asked the Amnesty Office to take steps to find appropriate training institutions for them. In a text message to Vanguard, weekend, the students complained that they had been left almost stranded without any communication with the Amnesty Office since their abrupt return to the country. However, the Amnesty Office said, yesterday, that it had not abandoned the affected trainees and was working hard to source another school for them. Amnesty Head of Media and Communication, Mr. Daniel Alabra, told Vanguard that the affected students would, however, be subjected to a fresh round of selection test on March 25 to determine their suitability for new schools. Alabra said: “It is true that the students were brought back when we discovered that the school was not accredited, principally to save them from avoidable problems in the future. “We cannot allow them to waste their precious time and return with worthless certificates and be stranded in Nigeria. That is why we are doing our best to sort their problems out once and for all.” They lamented that it was wrong for the Amnesty Office to keep them in the dark, having lost some years before they were taken to Cyprus for the aborted training programmes. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/02/67-ex-militants-withdrawn-from-cyprus-school They claimed they were misled while billions of naira probably disappeared into thin air yet no investigation was conducted,nobody was arrested nor prosecuted and they deemed it fit to shield this from the public.Nigeria and corruption. |

Too Bad! Why did they not do their own investigation (after the vendor have recommended the school) before accepting to send these guys there. Information is very important and can cost a lot if neglected. And also why let the take another eligibility test? The bona-fide ones that were withdrawn from the Cyprus school should have automatic chance since it was not their fault that the school was not accredited. 2 Likes |

Chill tho, why the f*ck are we using Nigeria's money to train muthaf*ckers abroad?! And there is no veritable federal scholarship scheme in place for the truly gifted scholars o?! In my opinion, the f*cking IOC's should be the ones funding this jamboree abroad for "ex-militants" 100%.... There should be a 50% derivation and revenue sharing policy in place. Infact, decentralize the damn government! What the hell type of federalism are we practicing in this country bikonu?! Why do we have a presidential system, and a bi-cameral legislature?!?! LMAO! This country is jokes i tellya! 1 Like |

These ex militants dey enjoy no be small...Cyprus Sometimes I wish I was a militant...I for don go far by now. These so called militants get a mouth-watering monthly pay that is way ahead of the salry of an average graduate, while they are also being flown overseas anyhow for being a menace to the society. Little wonder why youths prefer crime to legitimate living 2 Likes |
