PAP graduates laud Otuaro’s leadership

The National Association of Presidential Amnesty Graduates (NAPAG) has applauded the innovative leadership of the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Otuaro.

NAPAG, in a statement issued, yesterday, by its National Coordinator, Somina Morrison Igani, commended Otuaro for his innovative approach to leadership.

Igani observed that Otuaro’s innovative leadership approach has manifested greatly in all aspects of the programme, particularly in his determined effort to bridge the human capital development gap in the Niger Delta.

He noted that the PAP Administrator’s steadfast dedication has resulted in significant progress in several areas under the programme.

According to him, these include enhanced academic opportunities through scholarship awards, the prompt payment of monthly stipends to PAP delegates, and a revitalised vocational skills acquisition programme, providing beneficiaries with high-quality training in various trades.

Igani said: “Under his (Otuaro’s) leadership, there has been a significant increase in support for academic pursuits, enabling many ex-agitators to pursue higher education and professional training.”

“This special attention to academics has not only empowered individuals but also contributed immensely to the socio-economic development of the region and beyond.

“The prompt disbursement of allowances under Otuaro’s leadership has been instrumental in the sustenance of the livelihoods of many former agitators.”

He added that the prompt payment of monthly allowances to ex-agitators had been crucial to sustainable peace, security and stability in the region, noting that it was a huge support to the reintegration process.
