“In light of this appointment, we call upon the people of the Niger-Delta to unite behind Dr. Otuaro as he works to fulfill the mandate of the amnesty office.”
Comrade Adawari said, the Presidential Amnesty Programme was established with the aim of rehabilitating and reintegrating ex-Niger Delta militants into society after undergoing skills and vocational training, hence, It is imperative that the Niger-Delta People rally together to ensure its success.
The Niger-Delta Environmental Justice Coalition appreciates President Tinubu’s vision in appointing Dr. Otuaro and remains committed to supporting efforts that will bring sustainable development to the Niger-Delta region.
