How many of them are benefiting from the monthly stipend?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColonel Dixion Dikio (rtd) said that out the 30,000 beneficiaries of PAP, 22,000 have been trained. We want him to publish names of trained beneficiaries and the camps they belong. Let him also publish the eight thousand untrained beneficiaries and the camps they belong. He should also publish the number of impacted community slots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can the PAP office be paying school fees of some students without paying the monthly seventy thousand naira they are entitled to? There\u2019s foul play in this issue and I have facts to prove.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese students are from Niger Delta and their names are in the office database, I advise the PAP office to do the needful to resolve the students\u2019 plight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 72 students sent to Copenhagen-Malmo Maritime Academy, Sweden, for a nine-month training on Nautical Science in 2014, returned to Nigeria disappointed because the certificates issued to them were rejected when presented for work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore so, they were lodged in a hotel, lectured in the hotel for six months as Desk Officers Class Viii and Engine Officers Class Viii without giving them the expected Diploma certificate, which training was a scam. These students lodged their complaint with the PAP office with no attention given till date\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the Kaiama looting, Muturu said: \u201cwe want the PAP office to tell us their findings on the looting of the warehouse equipment meant for training of beneficiaries at Kaiama. I personally believe the PAP office is in a better position to tell us what transpired because the looting was apparently orchestrated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore so, relationship between the PAP office and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) was so cordial that no investigation has been carried out on this looting till date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would want the PAP office to give answers to all the issues raised, failure to which I will call names, especially those behind the Kaiama looting because I\u2019m a living witness and we will want the heavens to fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is apparent that the PAP office is secretive with scandals, substituting names of beneficiaries in our camps with names from elsewhere. I can also give names of people used to substitute real beneficiaries of the programme, if the need be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose behind the appointment of these people to run the programme down are enemies Niger Delta, as everyone is coming to do business and go, shortchanging true beneficiaries of the programme\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He called on the Federal Government, in line with its claim of meaning well for the programme, to investigate the PAP from the hierarchy, saying that many of the programme managers have since derailed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want an end to this unacceptable treatment and we call on the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to be sincere with execution of the programme in accordance with its blueprint\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex-militant leader under the Presidential Amnesty Programme, (PAP), Mr. Kingsley Muturu, has accused the leadership of the programme of insincerity in the execution of activities of the programme designed to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":86064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
