Amnesty’s scholarship scheme to focus on four courses, says Dikio
Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo, has pledged to partner with the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) in securing and developing the Niger Delta region through a jobs creation initiative.
He said it was possible to maintain peace in the region through special skills acquisition programmes to douse the tension caused by unemployment and underdevelopment of the region.
Gambo stated this at the weekend when PAP’s Interim Administrator, Col. Milland Dixon Dikio (rtd.) led a delegation to visit him at the Nigerian Naval Headquarters in Abuja.
A statement signed by Dikio’s Special Adviser on Media, Neotaobase Egbe, disclosed that security would be enhanced when agencies work with committed residents through meaningful engagements.

The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) says it is partnering with the Bayelsa State Government to revive the moribund 500 fish ponds in the state to be used as a training facility for Niger Delta ex-agitators on fish farming.
The interim administrator of the programme, Colonel Milland Dixon Dikio (retd), who disclosed this in Yenagoa when he visited the commander of Operation Delta Safe, a joint military task force operating in the Niger Delta region, Rear Admiral Aminu Hassan, said the idea was part of the three identified platforms of food security, maritime security and transport proposed by the federal government to promote peace in the region.
