Four Niger Delta militants, who dropped their arms,
went back to school and made First Class
Bachelor’s degrees, have been employed as lec
turers by Benson Idahosa University in Edo State.
According to the co-ordinator of the Presidential
Amnesty Programme (PAP) and Special Adviser to
the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Brig-Gen. Paul
Boroh (rtd), the names of the lecturers are Fianka
Diamond Tamara (Computer Science), Debrah
Ikpaazaere (Business Administration), Odiki Otogo
(Political Science and Public Administration) and
Lucky Boleidowa (Political Science and Public
Administration).
Boroh made this disclosure at an interactive
session with journalists in Abuja.
“In fact, the Benson Idahosa University retained as
lecturers, four of our students who had First Class.
The performance of our students abroad was even
more stunning. A total of 454 of them graduated
mainly from British universities with 20 having First
Class and 41, Second Class Upper,” he added.
He also said that the recent visits of Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo to states in the Niger Delta region
was a winning formula which has solidified the
relationship between the region and the
administration.
“Perhaps our greatest achievement is contributing
to the maintenance of peace in the Niger Delta
which has resulted in zero vandalism of oil facili
ties,”
