The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr Dennis Otuaro, has urged stakeholders of the Niger Delta to maintain the prevailing peace in the region and remain resolute in their support for the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Otuaro made the call at a three-day strategic training on leadership, alternative dispute resolution and mediation organised by the PAP in collaboration with the Nigerian Army Resource Centre for some stakeholders of the PAP in Abuja on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
Otuaro stressed the need for the people of the Niger Delta to consolidate on the region’s peace process and stability so that socio-economic growth and development could thrive in the communities as encapsulated in the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He assured the people of the Niger Delta that Tinubu would not fail in his firm commitment and dedication to the peace, stability, and development of the region and indeed Nigeria.
He stressed that by his actions, after his election as president, Tinubu has shown that he is a leader who cannot deceive the people of the Niger Delta for political gains.
Otuaro said the strategic capacity-building initiative underscored his unwavering resolve to broaden stakeholders’ participation in PAP activities and complement Tinubu’s determination to impact communities in the Niger Delta.
Otuaro noted that the PAP, in the past one year under his leadership, has made a remarkable impact on the region’s people by the expansion of the scholarship scheme, vocational training opportunities for former agitators and beneficiaries, and deepening of inclusivity in the implementation of the PAP’s mandate.
The PAP boss, who declared the training open, told the participants that the essence of the exercise was to equip them to play more critical roles in the region’s peace process.
“I urge all stakeholders and the people of the Niger Delta to continue to support President Tinubu and work resolutely with his administration to do more for the region, even in the coming years. He will not fail the region, I assure you,” he stated.
Otuaro also extended his appreciation to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, “for his encouragement and flawless supervision of the programme, which have led to the success stories recorded by the programme under my leadership.”
He urged the participants to participate and engage actively in the strategic training, and take valuable lessons away that would “guide your conduct and approach to resolving issues and disputes that may arise around you or within your spheres of influence in the interest of the Niger Delta and the country.”
“Therefore, this strategic workshop is a platform designed to sharpen your leadership skills and deepen your understanding of the essence of conflict resolution and mediation, to bring about peace and development in our communities and region in the implementation of the PAP’s mandate,” Otuaro added.
