Henshaw noted that the innovative efforts by Ndiomu to re-define and re-position the PAP have attracted both national and global attention to elicit the New Telegraph award as the most innovative government agency.
He said: “This award is dedicated to all registered beneficiaries under the Programme and it will no doubt encourage us as a team to be more proactive to do more to improve the socio-economic well-being of the ex-agitators and to sustain the existing peace in the region.
“Our innovative policies on the cooperative scheme are a success story just like the resuscitated aviation programme which has trained 75 pilots and Aircraft Maintenance Engineers as well as the PAP scholarship scheme for both off and on shore students.
“The PAP under the leadership of Major General Barry Ndiomu will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to pool our resources together in the realisation of the dreams of the founding fathers and in achieving the PAP mandate.”
