Buhari Approves N35bn For The Niger Delta Amnesty Programme by JamieNaija(m): 3:13pm On May 08, 2017
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved an additional N35 billion to the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme for the sustenance of the new understanding between the Federal Government and the oil-producing communities of the region.

A statement from the office of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo reads

"Currently the Amnesty Office has now paid up all ex-militants backlog of their stipends up to the end of 2016. The release of the additional funds is coming after presidential level interactive engagements in the Niger Delta, where the Buhari administration has enunciated a New Vision for the oil-producing areas based on the presentation made by the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, to the President when he received leaders and stakeholders from the region last November.

Subsequently, the President asked his deputy, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, to embark on a tour of the region that saw him visiting several oil-producing States in the country. Besides the monthly payment of about N65, 000 to N66,000 to the ex-militants, the funds would also go to the provision of reintegration activities under the Amnesty Programme including payment of tuition fees for beneficiaries from Niger Delta who are in post-secondary institutions at home and abroad, payment of in-training & hazard allowances and vocational training costs'.

With all due respect to those in the oil-producing areas....

YES, they are exploited by the Oil Producing Companies, but they are even more so by their leaders.

Billions of naira have been pumped into that area as Corporate Social Responsibility, but the money is shared amongst a few.

All the youths shout is "our Oyel, our Oyel" Even Governor Dickson remarked about how lazy they are.


We haven't had a leader with balls enough to diversify from oil and call their bluff. The economic fall-out would just be too great.

35 billion naira for what? This isn't sustainable.

All these media propaganda and political sugar nut which aims to show Buhari working administration, only prove he's no more.

The real Buhari we know, will never the release of Nnamdi Kanu at any cost, even if it warrants killing unarmed biafrans.

The real Buhari we know, won't allow lifting the bans placed on 48 imported items.

The real Buhari we know, won't pay any amnesty to Niger delta, he will rather use the money to search for oil in the north.

The real Buhari we know, won't stop appearing in for photos and video capturing because that's all he did during his first year in office.

The real Buhari we know, is no longer existing.
