“Ndiomu has been holding consultations with state governments and stakeholders in Niger Delta and soliciting for their ideas, support and cooperation aimed towards proffering best solutions to the human capital development and empowering of Amnesty beneficiaries trained overtime.”
He urged Ndiomu to ignore distractions and remain focused on his determination to making the Amnesty programme achieve it core purpose for which it was established.
“We as stakeholders in Niger Delta should support and encourage the interim coordinator to succeed. The Presidential Amnesty Programme was established to rehabilitate and empower our youths and ex-militants and by extension promote peace and security in Niger Delta region.”
