Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh (retd.), has urged ex-militants, enrolled under the scheme, not to be agitated over the delay in the payment of their stipends for three months.
Boroh, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, made the plea in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Abuja.
He attributed the delay in payment of the outstanding allowance to the non-receipt of allocation to the Presidential Amnesty Office for July, August and September, 2015.
He said, “I want to assure the ex-agitators under the programme that arrangements are being made to fast-track the payment of their July and August stipends as soon as the Amnesty office receives its July allocation.
“The office has been conscientious in managing resources and has already cleared the July and August, 2015 in-training and accommodation allowances for international students under the scholarship programme; and will presently conclude the payment of the in- training allowances of scholarship students in Nigerian universities.”
According to him, the Federal Government is aware of the pains the ex-militants are going through and will ensure that they get their stipends soon.
The coordinator recalled that prior to his appointment, the payment of allowances to all beneficiaries had been stalled owing to the change in government.
He added that the delay in the payment of allowances was occasioned by the introduction of the Treasury Single Account System by the new administration to ensure accountability.
Boroh said his office was working assiduously to engage the relevant agencies of government to ensure the release of all accrued allocations to the Presidential Amnesty Office.

.we no gree

Good thinking from Mr President. Peace is more better than war.

shey a new sheriff is in town.

Ok

the last thing Nigeria needs now is definitely not a return of militancy!
God forbid!

I just hope that one day all these ex-militants will be flushed out. Let someone please educate me, how long will all these stipends ends. I can see that the numbers keep on growing by the day. If this is true, then what happens to those that are unemployed.

Good development. Anything for peace to reign.

You don't flush them out. Seeing as their agitations are well placed. Only it's a pity that most of them are in it for their own selfish interest than for the collective good.

My brother GEJ will forever remain my hero for a very long time. Of a truth I tell you very few African leaders will tow the line of GEJ. The reason is that most African leaders enmeshed in the web of greed and lust for power.
Even myself can't take the trial of holding on to power very lightly. It means that I will fail the test to perpetuate in power.
The mere fact that he decide to allow every body live in peace without shedding blood alone he will be forever be remembered.
If GEJ had rejected the election results Nigeria will still be boiling by now.

....Dont mind the clowns..'a new sherrif is in town' indeed.

No show of strength, thank God. ebe laa bosika

Really

Oooooooo, so the baboon dey fear too

they should stop being foolish and demand for total resource control, how will a man own a house and an alien will be tacitly collecting the rents and keep giving him owner stipends, its time for the so called niger deltans to wake up agitate and fight for total resource control,. The Kuwaitis the saudy's own and control there resources, why would the niger deltans remain gullible.
