Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the website of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. On this platform, we have endeavoured to put out all the basic information that you might need to understand what we do, why we do them, where we do them, and hopefully, how you can play a part.

My name is Milland Dikio, a retired Colonel from the Nigerian Army. I have had the privilege of working on these kind of programmes with the United Nations and African Union, so I came here with practical knowledge and ideas that given your support, I believe will positively impact our people and the Niger Delta as a whole.

I am very conversant with how the UN runs its DDR programme; however, our amnesty office has become a place for tenured appointment. That is far from how to operate a programme like this. I intend to reorganize the place by creating a lean and efficient machinery that will drive each phase of the programme with the requisite qualified staff and deliver set targets.

I am here to drive a new vision to transform ex-agitators into entrepreneurs and/or employable citizens who will become net contributors to the economy of the region and the nation through effective collaboration with relevant public and private institutions and state governments in the region.
