The Federal Government on Sunday charged 200 Niger Delta ex-agitators, who graduated from the Innoson-Kiara Academy, Nnewi in Anambra, to use their skills positively to grow the economy.
Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh (Rtd), the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, gave the charge at the Batch ‘B’ graduation ceremony. A statement by the Academy Head, Media and Communication Department, Piriye Kiyaramo, said the ex-agitators underwent a nine months intensive automobile course in automobile manufacturing, engineering and maintenance.
Boroh commended the graduating ex-agitators for making President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Government proud in their performance during the training. The special adviser said the entrepreneurship drive of the Presidential Amnesty Programme was geared toward creating an enabling environment for beneficiaries to develop their full potential in different vocational skills.
The Chief Executive Officer of the academy, Endi Ezengwa, said the trainees were exposed to practical automobile engineering works during their practical training at the factory.
Speaking on behalf of the ex- agitators, President of the trainees, Raphael Ajalaja, expressed satisfaction with the leadership of Boroh, especially the manner he handled the programme.
