FG to ex-militants: We know you are in pains… you’ll soon be paid

The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has reassured beneficiaries of the programme of payment of their stipends, urging them not to be agitated over the delay.

Paul Boroh, coordinator of the programme, gave the assurance in an interview with NAN on Thursday.

Boroh said the federal government had affirmed efforts to effect prompt payment to beneficiaries.

“I am assuring all beneficiaries under the programme that arrangements are being made to fast-track the payment of their stipends as soon as the amnesty office receives its allocation,” he said.

He said the current administration is aware of the pains the ex-militants are going through and will ensure that they get their stipends soon.

Boroh said his office has been working assiduously to engage relevant agencies of government to explore areas of collaboration in engaging trained beneficiaries.

“The Amnesty office is collaboration with the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to explore areas of cooperation in engaging trained beneficiaries,” he said.
