Amnesty to be replaced with N’Delta stabilisation programme – Dikko The Punch
Published 30 June 2021
THE Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Col. Milland Dikio (retd.), has said the scheme would be changed from ‘Amnesty’ to the Niger Delta Stabilisation Programme as part of the strategies to rebrand the PAP and move the region forward.
Dikio explained that the current nomenclature of the programme creates barriers and limits opportunities as far as it continued to maintain the name ‘Amnesty’, especially outside Nigeria.
According to him, the name ‘Amnesty’ suggests a situation in which there are things that cannot be done as well as countries that cannot be entered.

Published 29 June 2021
The Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Col. Milland Dikio (rtd), has said the PAP is partnering the Bayelsa State Government to revive the state’s moribund 500 fish ponds as a training facility for ex-agitators on fish farming.
Dikio stated this when he paid a courtesy visit to the Commander of the joint task force in the Niger Delta, codenamed Operation Delta Safe, Rear Admiral Aminu Hassan, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
He noted that the ex-agitators, who had already acquired skills, would be constituted into cooperatives and attached to small and medium enterprises on three identified platforms of food security, maritime security and maritime transport.
