“The basic issue about the Niger Delta region is employment and this can only be realised in an environment that is conducive for investment.

“Our areas of collaboration with the PAP will be for sustainable peace and development in the region,” he said.

Earlier, Boroh said PAP was committed to collaborate with The German embassy that would lead to gainful employment of ex-agitators after the programme.

He said that training and provision of jobs for ex- agitators after their training in Nigeria and in diaspora required functional collaboration with the international community.

He, however, used the visit to seek more practical support from The German embassy to the amnesty programme.

The coordinator gave an assurance that Federal Government was committed to developing the Niger Delta region and ensuring sustainability of the amnesty programme.

He also assured the visiting ambassador that adequate steps would be taken to strengthen the partnership between the PAP and the embassy.

NAN recalls that PAP had earlier collaborated with the Embassy of the Netherlands and Israeli Embassy to explore ways to engage the beneficiaries of the Programme.
