Various stakeholders in the Niger Delta have commended the Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Col. Milland Dikio (retd.), for the initiative to train and employ ex-agitators in the region.

“Dikio has come at this juncture of history and we are very proud of him because he is doing very well. We must say this because today, the amnesty programme is not even getting as much as it used to get. If at this moment you’re doing so much with the little you’re getting, we can only imagine what you would have done during the heyday of the amnesty programme when there was a huge cash flow.”

The Chairman of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Emmanuel Essien, said it was heart-warming to see many ex-agitators who have shown interest in becoming entrepreneurs because of Dikio’s plans, reforms and strategies, adding that he should be empowered to complete the process of making the new dreams of ex-agitators a reality for sustainable peace and development of the region.

The spokesperson for the Ijaw Youths Council worldwide, Ebilade Ekerefe, said, “For us, Col. Dikio has been able to stabilise the programme and many stakeholders are very pleased with his strategies. The amnesty programme has a template and the previous coordinators of the programme did not pursue the template.”All rights reserved.
