The Office of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), says its Interim Administrator, Retired Maj.-Gen. Barry Ndiomu, has stabilised the operations of the programme by clearing all inherited debts through tactical financial models.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by the PAP Special Assistant on Media, Mr Freston Akpor.
Akpor stated that when Ndiomu assumed office in September, he inherited several liabilities ranging from unpaid scholarship awards, uncompleted vocational training centres, non-formal education programmes and other challenges.
“The media spaces in Nigeria have evolved, and are considered critical tools to announce the efforts of the PAP in changing the socio-economic narrative of the Niger Delta region
“So far, he (Ndiomu) has sanitised and stabilised the operations of the PAP,” media aide said.
According to him, since Ndiomu came on board, he has strategically cleared all inherited debts through tactical financial models.
He added that some of the debts which included those that were owed to critical contractors, agencies and scholarship debts had been cleared.
He said one of the strategic steps taken by Ndiomu was to reform PAP by implementing inconclusive scholarship awarded by his predecessor.
“Ndiomu sanitised and adopted the process with payment of all fees of 1700 PAP students spread across tertiary institutions of learning across the country
“As well as additional 55 delegates going into their first year in various universities in different countries.
