Consultation key to ongoing PAP reforms, says Otuaro 

The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr Dennis Otuaro, has emphasised his commitment to repositioning the programme and creating the needed value for beneficiaries. 

“I have been working hard alongside my team to redirect the programme and make it work for the main beneficiaries, as well as people of impacted communities,” Otuaro said.

According to him, to achieve his vision, he has constantly interfaced with critical stakeholders to share perspectives and learn from their experiences. Otuaro added that his ongoing reforms have been yielding fruits based on his constant interactions with governors of the region, traditional rulers, ex-agitators, and other critical stakeholders.

While commending Alaibe for his many contributions over the years to ensure the region is peaceful, he said the former NNDC Managing Director remains one of the greatest assets to the Niger Delta.

In his remarks, Alaibe, who was also a former Special Adviser to the President of Niger Delta and Coordinator of the PAP, thanked Otuaro for the visit. He said that so far, the PAP boss has done well, especially with the recent deployment of 1,700 students to various universities across the country and the specialised maritime training programme.
