Paul Boroh reveals Buhari’s plan for Niger Delta

The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh, has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari-led government is committed to a peaceful and developed Niger Delta region.
Boroh, who doubles as the Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, told newsmen in New York on Wednesday that Buhari’s commitment has encouraged investors movement into the region.

“The impact of the Presidential Amnesty Programme in the Niger Delta region has been very satisfactory and encouraging because the ex-agitators have imbibed that culture of ensuring peace.
“This is to allow for growth in the region and they are happy about it because a lot of valuable entrepreneurship programmes are ongoing in the entire Niger-Delta region.

“Their (ex-agitators) morale is high and they are happy.

“Each time I go to discuss with the ex-agitators and the youth, they pledge their loyalty and support to the present administration.
“This is so that the administration can continue the good things it is doing because of the commitment of Mr President in ensuring peace, stability and development in the region.
“The Niger Delta today is stable, peaceful and expecting investors moving there and help in adding value to the region,” Gen. Boroh said.

According to him, well over 5,000 ex-agitators have benefitted within the past two years in critical areas of aviation, maritime, oil and gas and agriculture.
