Ex-militants caution on dangers of non-release of 2016 Amnesty fund

17:52 Mar 24 2017 Rivers, Nigeria

Description
Former militant leaders in the Niger Delta region have again warned that the continuous delay in the release of the 2016 supplementary budgetary allocation for the Presidential Amnesty Programme may derail Federal Government’s peace initiative in the volatile region.

In a letter to the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, the ex-militants warned that the reluctance of the ministry to release the funds was creating a sense of frustration among beneficiaries of the amnesty programme and delaying the peace process.
