Coordinator of the Federal
Government’s amnesty programme in the Niger Delta region, Brigadier-General
Paul Boroh (retd), has assured ex-militants in the region that the December
allowance owed them would soon be cleared.
He spoke, yesterday, at Okrika Local
Government Area of Rivers State, when he went in company of the Senior
Special Adviser to Abia State governor on Niger Delta, Mr Kingsley Nna, to
verify indigenes of Abia State in the amnesty programme.
General Boro, who is also
Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Niger Delta, said there are
236 indigenes of Abia State registered in the amnesty programme, adding that
most of them had been trained in various skills and academic programmes.
He promised that most of those yet
to be trained would be given skills in the area of agriculture, adding that
beneficiaries of the programme were registered as members of various defunct
militant camps in the Niger Delta region.
