YENAGOA — The National Chairman of the Third Phase Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), General Elaye Dollar Slaboh, has commended the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, for his unwavering commitment to human capital development, especially through the timely opening of the PAP education portal for the 2024/2025 scholarship scheme.In a statement released in Yenagoa on Thursday, Slaboh described the move as a bold and strategic step that reflects Dr. Otuaro’s dedication to empowering beneficiaries of the Amnesty Programme through quality education and skills acquisition.
The opening of the education portal for the 2024/2025 scholarship scheme shows that Dr. Dennis Otuaro understands the value of education in transforming lives and securing the future of our people,” Slaboh stated. “This is a clear signal that the Presidential Amnesty Programme under his leadership is back on the path of purposeful and progressive engagement.
He further urged all beneficiaries of the programme to seize the opportunity provided by the new scholarship window to further their education and pursue productive academic and professional goals.Slaboh emphasized that the restoration of structured educational initiatives is crucial for sustaining peace in the Niger Delta and advancing the socio-economic reintegration of former agitators.
We are confident that with Dr. Otuaro at the helm, the Amnesty Programme will once again live up to its mandate of repositioning the lives of those who dropped their arms in the interest of national unity and peace,” he added.The educational scholarship portal, which officially opened this week, is now accessible to interested beneficiaries seeking undergraduate and postgraduate study opportunities within Nigeria and abroad, under the 2024/2025 academic year.
This development has been widely welcomed by stakeholders across the Niger Delta region, many of whom see it as a return to the original spirit of the Amnesty initiative — development, peace, and empowerment.Source: www.frontnaija.com | Filed by Vincent Nefegha – Yenagoa Bureau
