Fresh tension is rising in the Niger Delta following the Federal
Government’s failure to provide jobs for about 10,000 former militants
so far trained by the presidential post-amnesty office.
It was learnt that the unemployed amnesty beneficiaries are now roaming the streets and creeks of the region, months after their training.
National Mirror learnt that some of the “frustrated former militants have returned to the creeks apparently to make ends meet in whatever way possible.”
Some stakeholders feared that the former militants could return to their criminal antecedent in the creeks and along the waterways in order to earn a living.
Investigations showed that the plight of the former militants was worsened by the Federal Government’s failure to initiate measures to meaningfully engage them after their training.
National Mirror gathered that a paltry 200 beneficiaries have so far been employed due principally to the effort of the Chairman of the Post-Amnesty Office and Presidential Adviser on Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, who is said to be greatly worried by the development.
