By Senator Iroegbu

The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has assured that the outstanding monthly stipends to the ex-Niger Delta militants would be paid to them on Tuesday next week.

This was disclosed in a statement signed on Thursday by the Media & Communication Consultant, PAP, Mr. Owei Lakemfa.

Lakemfa said that the Office received a number of enquiries from Beneficiaries of the Amnesty Programme on the  delay in the payment of their  October and November, 2015 monthly stipends.

He however noted that the Amnesty Office was awaiting the release of its quarterly Federal Allocation which has now been received.

Consequently, he said, the Beneficiaries will be paid  the two months stipends not later than Tuesday, December 15, 2015.

"The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme,  Brig-Gen. Paul Boroh (ttd)  thanks the Beneficiaries for their cooperation, understanding and  support which has seen peace  return to the Niger Delta Region.

"He assures that 1,225 of the Beneficiaries will be empowered before the end of December, 2015 to set up their own businesses and become self-sufficient. He urged that this group of Beneficiaries  and 2,500 others that had been previously empowered, should   strive to hire unemployed youths in their areas," he stated.

Militant sneh

So stupid of critics...

Buhari says Nigeria is "broke"... Yet people kicked against him scrapping this Anmesty program. They argue that militants will return to the creeks and they curse at Buhari.

Wike says Rivers State cannot afford to pay students on RSSDA scholarship and requests students [some say, below final year] to return back to Nigeria and continue in RSUST and UNIPORT, and people say that's the best thing, cos the RSSDA thingy was a scam as many politicians' kids were on it.

Hmmmm. I wonder who's fooling who. Which is more beneficial to the society? Investing in Students' learning, or investing in taming [ex] militants?
May God heal Nigeria. Amen.
