• Lauds Swift PAP Scholarship Disbursement as a Lifeline for Youth Empowerment
• Says Otuaro’s Leadership Restores Trust, Sparks New Hope Across the Region
The Niger Delta Youths for Positive Change (NDYPC) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, National Security Adviser (NSA) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Chief Dr. Dennis Otuaro, for what it described as a landmark breakthrough in advancing human capital development in the Niger Delta.
In a statement issued by Comrade Elliot, Global Coordinator of NDYPC on Wednesday, the group expressed deep appreciation for the swift and seamless disbursement of PAP educational scholarships, emphasizing that the move has rekindled hope and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the future of Niger Delta youths.
“This is more than a payment, it is an investment in minds, a bold step toward sustainable peace, and a lifeline for students who can now continue their education with dignity and confidence,” Comrade Elliot said.
The NDYPC particularly hailed Chief Dr. Dennis Otuaro for his pragmatic, transparent, and people-centered leadership style, which has restored trust in the scholarship scheme and repositioned the Presidential Amnesty Programme as a true vehicle for peacebuilding, youth development, and reintegration.
Since assuming office, Otuaro has prioritized the welfare of PAP delegates, focusing keenly on education and skills acquisition as pathways to lasting empowerment and stability in the region.
The group also acknowledged the strategic roles played by President Tinubu and NSA Ribadu in ensuring that the Presidential Amnesty Programme remains a credible platform for transforming lives, fostering peace, and bridging socio-economic gaps in the post-conflict Niger Delta.
“We see this as a new dawn for the Niger Delta,” the statement added.
“Human capital is the true wealth of any society, and with this renewed drive, our youths are no longer left behind in Nigeria’s journey toward prosperity.”
The NDYPC pledged continued support for the administration’s youth-focused efforts and reaffirmed its commitment to partnering with all stakeholders to promote peace, expand educational opportunities, and create sustainable economic prospects for the region’s vibrant youth population.
