President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of
Brigadier-General P.T. Boroh (rtd.) as the Coordinator of the Amnesty
Programme for former Niger Delta militants.
Brig. Boroh, whose appointment takes immediate effect, is to take over the
responsibilities of the former Special Adviser to President Jonathan on
Niger Delta who also doubled as Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme.
The appointment of a new Coordinator for the Amnesty Programme is expected
to lead to the speedy resolution of recent hitches in its implementation
such as the non-payment of outstanding allowances to ex-militants.
