Repentant militants from the Niger Delta voluntarily surrendered their weapons to the Federal Government in 2009. Arms and ammunition from over 29, 000 ex-militants were recovered.
Essential information on the background and stations of the disarmed ex-militants were collected. They were then counseled, trained, documented and they were enrolled into the Programme.
It is our mandate to reintegrate beneficiaries fully into the society after training and empowering them to the status of entrepreneurs and/or employable citizens who will become net contributors to the economy of the Niger Delta region.
Let me welcome you, our dear esteemed visitors, to the Presidential Amnesty Programme website. It is my sincere hope and desire that you will have a pleasurable ride as you navigate this website. May I also inform you that the website is currently undergoing re-construction to ensure that it is aesthetically attractive and user-friendly, while we update it within a reasonable timeframe.
Under my watch, we shall place premium on transparency, accountability, and hard work; there shall be a clear departure from the past trajectory to a purposeful, result-oriented administration.
The Presidential Amnesty Programme shall be responsive to the hopes and aspirations of the ex-agitators and the entire people of Niger Delta Region for sustainable peace, security, and development.
We shall equally embark on reorientation, training, and empowerment of the ex-agitators in line with the present realities of the nation.
It is my desire to uphold the sanctity of the core values for the establishment of the Amnesty Programme that borders on Disarmament, Demobilisation and Re-integration, which form the tripod upon which the Programme presently stands.
However, it must be borne in mind that the Amnesty Programme was initially designed to be terminated at the end of December 2015, but the Federal Government was magnanimous in extending the Programme for a few more years. There is, however, a new resolve by FG to bring the Programme to an end in line with extant laws establishing it.
We cannot achieve our core objectives without the support and kind understanding of our delegates who form the ex-agitators, the business communities operating in the region, and all the critical stakeholders in the Niger delta.
Thank You.
– Gen. Barry T. Ndiomu (rtd)
