The interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Major General Barry Ndiomu (retd. ), has said no fewer than 3000 former Niger Delta agitators are on scholarship in tertiary institutions in the country and abroad. He added that all their tuition and allowances for the 2022/2023 sessions had also been paid. The Special Adviser on Media to the PAP Administrator, Freston Akpor, disclosed this in a statement on Monday while dispelling allegations that the scheme had yet to deploy delegates under the scholarship programme. Insinuations that the current dispensation has yet to deploy delegates under the scholarship programme are ungodly.”While urging members of the public to ignore the claims of mischief makers, he warned those behind the act to refrain from such.
