Speaking at the flag off ceremony at the International Institute of Tourism and Hospitality, Yenagoa, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator of Presidential Amnesty Program, Brig. Gen. Paul Boroh, said the Presidential Amnesty Program has been so effective since it was introduced in 2009 and youths from the region have proven to the world that they are not only talented but industrious as they have shown from their performances within and outside the country.
Boroh who urged the beneficiaries to take the opportunity given to them as advantage to build on their individual capacity and make themselves entrepreneurs and employers of labour, assured them of the federal government’s continued support in human capacity building in the region.
