‘No room for failure’: Otuaro assumes office as amnesty administrator

The new Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Office, Dr Dennis Otuaro, has resumed duty at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.

Ita Henshaw, Technical Assistant to the former Interim Administrator, Maj Gen Barry Ndiomu (Retd) handed over the notes to Otuaro in Abuja on Monday, March 18, 2024.

Speaking, Otuaro said he would not betray the trust reposed in him by President Bola Tinubu and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.

He said his mission in the Presidential Amnesty Office is to render quality service to the Niger Delta region and the nation, stressing that there would be no room for failure.

Otuaro, who urged the members of staff to be focused and give him the requisite cooperation to move the office forward, assured that he is not in the Amnesty Office to pursue personal gains.

He said: “I need everybody’s cooperation here to take this programme to greatness.

“My appeal here is as from today we should back the crowd and face the job. I need everyone’s cooperation so we don’t disappoint the President, the NSA, the people of the Niger Delta and Nigeria as a whole.

“I believe in this country. Everything about me is in this country and it is also in the Niger Delta.

“This assignment is for our people, for the country, and for humanity. We are bringing the programme closer to the people. We will not use it to pursue things that are abstract.

“We will streamline whatever that we know that is giving us the load to provide excuses, we must streamline some things and we’ll work together.

“I will not disappoint my people; I will not disappoint Mr. President and National Security Adviser who gave me this appointment. I am not here to pursue personal goals; I am begging everybody to be on same with me.

President Tinubu, last Thursday, approved the appointment of Otuaro as Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
