Don't Stall Dev, Amnesty Boss Warns Ex-Militants

The Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programmme, Brigadier- General Paul Boroh (rtd), Thursday, charged beneficiaries of the programme not to be agents of destruction  but protect  the programme so as not to endanger the laudable initiative.
Boroh was reacting to remarks by some students studying abroad who complained of a six-week delay in their in-training-allowances and delay in returning home.
He warned that such minor delays should not be a basis for protests or agreeing to be used to write frivolous petitions against the programme.
Boroh emphasised that the Amnesty Office had remitted all such allowances and that any delay was due to the process of foreign exchange transfer.
Earlier on Tuesday, Boroh had revealed that the Amnesty Programme had transformed over five million lives, and stabilised the Niger Delta region for development by multi-stakeholder institutions and corporate groups, including the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), federal minitries as well as oil and gas companies.
