President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday
appointed Brigadier-General P.T. Boroh (rtd.) as the Coordinator of the Amnesty
Programme for former Niger Delta militants.
A statement by the Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said that Brig. Boroh’s appointment takes
immediate effect.
Boroh is taking over the
responsibilities of the former Special Adviser to President Jonathan on Niger
Delta who also doubled as Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme.
The appointment of a new Coordinator
for the Amnesty Programme, the statement said, is to lead to the speedy
resolution of recent hitches in its implementation such as the non-payment of
outstanding allowances to ex-militants.
