Why N7b amnesty scholarship scheme was suspended, by PAP Administrator
Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Maj.-Gen. Barry Ndiomu (rtd), on Thursday said the scholarship scheme for ex-militants was suspended because it was unsustainable.
He also said less than one per cent of the trained ex-Niger Delta agitators were gainfully employed.
According to Ndiomu, efforts are on to set up a cooperative, which will enable trained former agitators to establish their businesses.
The Interim Administrator, who spoke in Abuja, said the government had no choice but to halt the scholarship programme.He said the N7 billion initiative cannot be sustained.
