Reports say the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) coordinator, Brig-Gen. Paul Boroh, has resolved the various bottle-necks hindering the payment of  tuition and allowances of the ex-Niger Delta militants.

Boroh said "together with the CBN, the payment, backlog and debts owed the beneficiaries, which were delayed as a result of the bottleneck caused by the Single Treasury Account (TSA) has been resolved."

According to ThisDay Newspapers, the PAP Coordinator, through Amnesty Office Head of Media and Communication, Mr. Dan Alabra, said“Following the completion of the in-house verification of claims, the Special Adviser has since signed and approved the payment of all outstanding tuition and allowances of the 3,074 beneficiaries in onshore and offshore educational institutions."

Adding that “Already, the tuition of 1,620 of the beneficiaries in Nigerian institutions has been paid just as they have all received their in-training allowances for May and June 2015.”
