In a statement on Tuesday signed by Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, the President has also approved the appointment of Professor Charles Quaker Dokubo as the new Coordinator of the programme.

President Buhari has also directed the National Security Adviser (NSA) to carry out a full investigation into the activities of the Amnesty Programme from 2015 to date, especially allegations of financial impropriety and other acts that are allegedly detrimental to the objectives of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
