"President Muhammadu Buhari in his speech said that the amnesty programme for ex-Niger Delta agitators would end by December 2015. The IYC appreciates the fact that the amnesty programme cannot continue forever and therefore must have a terminal date. However, the questions on the lips of beneficiaries and stakeholders in the Niger Delta region are: what would happen to those that have not been trained at as December 2015. And what about those still undergoing training or have not completed their training?”
Mr. Omare said that the termination of the programme would throw up challenges for beneficiaries of the programme who were still undergoing training and were at different level of training. The IYC spokesman said the group expected the Federal Government to allay fears of beneficiaries who were in different parts of the world and were worried that their trainings might be affected if the programme was terminated in December 2015. He added that the case of substantial number of ex-agitators who had not been trained was even more worrisome.
He, therefore, appealed to the Federal Government to address challenges before the programme was terminated. On streamlining projects and programmes in the Niger Delta region to make them more effective, IYC said it would support any step of the Federal Government to strengthen institutions responsible for the development of the Niger Delta region.
The group applauded the planned streamlining of policies to rapidly develop the region. “We, however, wish to advice that any effort toward restructuring developmental institutions and projects should have the input of the people of the region at the heart of the process. “The people of the Niger Delta must be the ones to decide the shape of developmental institutions in the region.’’
The IYC said it had expected President Buhari to address issues such as cleaning up of the Niger Delta environment, implementation of the UNEP report on Ogoni. He added that also left out of the inaugural address was the menace of oil theft which had greatly contributed to environmental degradation in the Niger Delta region, which Mr. Buhari promised to tackle during the presidential campaigns.

Let see hw d new administration wil go abt dis but I trust GMB to handle dis issue wit wisdom.
DeleteThere's time for everything and it's only natural that somethings has got to come to an end, this program is just for a certain section of youths it doesn't cut across or embrace the whole Niger delta youth and such it's time it comes to an end so the government can divert the funds to something useful. Come to think of it what are they using the money they have collected for years for?
DeleteGood for them. Lindaobserve
ReplyDeleteBunch of lazy nation destroyers
ReplyDeleteDon't worry PMB will handle It.
ReplyDeleteBuhari you are really crazy, you just enter sit and you want to shut down amnesty... You want to cause trouble, I trust ijaw boy

ReplyDeleteBuhari you are really crazy, you just enter sit and you want to shut down amnesty... You want to cause trouble, I trust ijaw boy
ReplyDeleteLazy ass fool, amnesty should continue for ever Abi? Go ask ijaw leaders who collected all d amnesty money fed.gov paid them n how many ppl they ve trained and wht valve has the train added to there life, at least let ur leaders produce just 10 of such ppl, no gold to dig again bro no money in treasury, thanks to ur bro GEJ
DeleteYou must be stupid, you are forgetting the fact the money this boys are receiving is still money from the oil revenue that is coming from the Niger delta region. Do you want Buhari to stop it and give room for the dark days of no/poor exploration of the region? I think it's high time the Niger delta region separate from this scam called Nigeria,all this hausa and yoruba people are just after the oil from the Niger Delta. We won't hesitate to come for any hausa fool that would want to mismanage our oil revenue. Buhari should be careful,the days of military dictatorship is over, we are ready for anything.
DeleteU re a big fool, u talk oil revenue whr is the oil? Ain't u reading d news, u ppl already stole all d money, shame on u ppl, u didn't even do good for urselves, no significant development in d whole of Niger delta, all we see is ex militant living a luxury off fed.gov, a life they can't sustain, u talking ur youth n giving room for dark days, u must be very stupid for saying that, can't u ppl work n earn money like other ppl. This is a new Nigeria we want responsible youth to step out and motivate others, we want youths that will raise n take full responsibility of there own future
DeleteIOW...His speech should have taken 48hrs of reading.
