The Presidential Amnesty Programme has sought the partnership of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) on the sustainable peace and security initiatives of the PAP for the stability of the Niger Delta region and Nigeria at large.
The PAP Administrator, Dr Dennis Otuaro, made the call during a courtesy visit to the National Coordinator of the NCTC, Major General Adamu Laka, in Abuja on Friday, October 11, 2024.
Otuaro said the partnership of the centre would help deepen the programme’s ongoing peace and security process in the region.
Otuaro said his administration would be delighted to collaborate with the NCTC, which is also under the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), to make the region safer.
He noted that a peaceful Niger Delta would guarantee an increase in Nigeria’s oil output and improve the economic well-being of the country in line with President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’.
The PAP boss said: “We want to work with you. This visit is aimed at seeking support and partnership with the NCTC under the ONSA structure to make the Niger Delta a very safe place, and to continue to see that oil production increases for the benefit of the country.

“We must make sure that there is sustainable peace and security in the Niger Delta. We are also determined to use the opportunities available for the PAP Office to ensure that vulnerable Niger Deltans and impacted communities are touched positively.
“We will continue to play our role to support the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his administration and Nigeria to safeguard the future of the country.”
Otuaro, according to a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Media, Igoniko Oduma, lauded the NCTC for the effective tackling of security issues, stressing that the centre had recorded significant successes.
On his part, Laka stated that the centre was working tirelessly for the peace and security of the nation.
Laka thanked the PAP administrator for the visit and his desire for the centre to partner with the programme for the peace, security, and stability of the Niger Delta region.
