The Presidential Amnesty Programme Beneficiaries Forum (PAPBEF) has hailed the deployment of over 142 Niger Delta scholarship beneficiaries to universities in the United Kingdom, lauding it as a landmark achievement and the most significant educational initiative in the programme’s recent history.

The forum commended Dr. Dennis Otuaro, Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, for what it described as his transformative leadership, which has effectively translated President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda into tangible opportunities for the region.

In a statement, PAPBEF emphasised the administration’s commitment to ensuring an equitable distribution of opportunities across all ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta.

“This initiative represents more than an educational opportunity; it embodies the transformative vision of Dr. Otuaro’s administration to cultivate a new generation of professionals who will drive sustainable development,” Comrade Spencer Senibo, PAPBEF spokesperson said.

“We are witnessing a new era where the Niger Delta’s potential is being unlocked through strategic investment.

“Dr. Otuaro’s focused and effective approach is facilitating progress at a remarkable pace, achieving significant milestones in a short timeframe,” he added.

PAPBEF endorsed this groundbreaking initiative and urged continued investment in human capital development, both onshore and offshore.

Given the administration’s demonstrated capacity for achieving rapid results, the forum reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Otuaro’s determination for the Niger Delta region’s growth.

“We urge Dr. Otuaro to maintain this trajectory and call upon all stakeholders to support the Presidential Amnesty Programme’s critical work in building a prosperous and stable Niger Delta through education and capacity building,” Senibo added.

This latest deployment follows the administration’s earlier success in placing 1,700 beneficiaries into various Nigerian institutions for the 2024/2025 academic session.
