The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has warned that its scholarship scheme is completely free. Dr. Dennis Otuaro cautions Niger Deltans against fraudulent individuals demanding money for PAP scholarship placements.
The PAP once again alerts members of the public, particularly Niger Deltans, that the scholarship application process for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes does not involve the payment of money.
The Programme does not accept money or encourage same in exchange for services, including the placement of successful applicants in institutions for admissions in any academic year.
This clarification has, again, become necessary following complaints to the Office of the Administrator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, that some unscrupulous PAP stakeholders and dubious individuals are allegedly collecting money from parents and guardians with all sorts of fake assurances of admissions.
> “We have warned against this fraudulent act before now. No applicant, parent or guardian should pay money to anybody for the PAP scholarship programme. If you pay money to anybody, you do so at your own risk,” the statement reads.
The management of the PAP, under the leadership of Dr. Dennis Otuaro, stated that it will not hesitate to take drastic measures against anybody caught involved in this nefarious act.
