During a recent visit by Kingsley Kuku, a former Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Implementation Committee, to the PAP office in Abuja, Ndiomu noted the need for the program to have concluded its activities long ago.

While thanking President Bola Tinubu for “continuing with this critical programme, Ndiomu said, “The amnesty programme has been largely very successful in helping the restive youths of the Niger Delta build capacity. And considering the fact that we are supposed to be in the reintegration phase, of course, the programme itself ought to have rounded off long before now.

“But, clearly, most of the objectives for which it was established have not been achieved, and it would be more appropriate, which is why we are recommending some kind of transition to a social investment agency which will impact directly on the lives of the youths across the Niger Delta. Basically, that’s what we are advocating.”

Highlighting some of the successes of PAP, the administrator remarked, "A lot has been achieved, as you know. Most of these programs were started at the time of Chief Kingsley Kuku. The pilot training scheme, the education scholarship program, and all of that were started under him. He midwifed them. It has been largely very successful, I must tell you. We’ve produced so many graduates in various fields; we’ve produced pilots, flight engineers, and so on and so forth."
