The Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, Colonel Milland Dixon Dikio (Rtd), says the era of servicing contractors and their cronies are gone for good.
He said that the PAP will no longer patronize contractors at the expense of the real owners of the programme, which are the ex-agitators, just as it will no longer fund the scholarship of students in areas that are not of comparative advantage to the region.
Dikio stated this on Friday in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, during a parley with the leadership of the first phase of the PAP.
He decried the existing situation, which allows contractors to gulp 85 per cent of the total funds accrued to the PAP, while those the programme was instituted for are left with the remaining fraction, which he lamented is hardly enough for training and empowering them.
His words: “The PAP will no longer be contractor-driven. We are not going to engage individuals not covered by the programme”.
