President
Muhammadu Buhari has appointed P.T. Boroh, a retired brigadier general, as the
Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme for former Niger Delta militants.
Mr. Boroh, whose appointment takes immediate effect, is to take
over the responsibilities of the former Special Adviser to President Jonathan
on Niger Delta who also doubled as Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme,
presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said.
The appointment of a new Coordinator for the Amnesty Programme
is expected to lead to the speedy resolution of recent hitches in its
implementation such as the non-payment of outstanding allowances to
ex-militants, Mr. Adesina said in a statement.The coordinator of the programme under the Jonathan
administration was Kingsley Kuku.
Last week, Mr. Kuku was summoned by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission on allegation of massive looting of funds meant for the
amnesty programme.
Mr. Kuku declined EFCC’s request to report for questioning on
July 28 on medical grounds, assuring to do so September 30.
