    NDYPC Hails Otuaro’s Reforms in Presidential Amnesty Programme

    • Lauds transparency, fairness in beneficiary selection and grassroots empowerment

    • Says reforms align with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, restore trust in Niger Delta

    The Niger Delta Youths for Positive Change (NDYPC) has commended the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Otuaro, for what it described as bold, people-focused reforms that are restoring trust and delivering tangible benefits to the Niger Delta.

    In a statement signed and issued by Comrade Elliott Yibakeni, after the conclusion of leadership training sessions with ex-agitator leaders in Abuja, the group said the PAP, once in urgent need of renewal, is now undergoing a transformation that reflects transparency, fairness, and accountability.

    “At a time when public trust in institutions was waning, Dr. Otuaro has emerged as a symbol of credibility and transformation,” the statement read. “His visionary leadership is restoring integrity, empowering communities, and driving a sustainable development agenda that resonates with the aspirations of the Niger Delta.”

    According to NDYPC, under Otuaro’s leadership, beneficiary selection has become fair and merit-based, ending years of favoritism and political interference. The group added that access to education, skills training, and empowerment opportunities, both locally and abroad, is now guided by equity and open competition.

    The group highlighted several internal reforms, including improved staff welfare, strengthened professional capacity, and strict adherence to best practices in public procurement. These, it said, have made the PAP more efficient, responsive, and transparent.

    NDYPC also praised Otuaro’s inclusive governance style, noting his sustained engagement with traditional rulers, women leaders, civil society organizations, and local communities. This approach, the group said, has strengthened peace-building efforts and deepened trust between the PAP and the people it serves.

    In line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the PAP has maintained consistent payment of stipends to ex-agitators and extended direct support to vulnerable populations. NDYPC also applauded new healthcare interventions for ex-agitators facing health challenges.

    The statement further commended the programme’s investments in scholarships, vocational training, and economic empowerment initiatives aimed at preparing Niger Delta youths for leadership, innovation, and sustainable livelihoods.

    “Every decision reflects a deep commitment to public trust, responsible stewardship, and long-term development,” NDYPC stated. “Under Dr. Otuaro’s watch, the Niger Delta is rising stronger, united, and filled with renewed hope.”

    • 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.

    NDYPC Cautions PND Against Emotionally Blackmailing Ijaw Leaders, Vows to Rebut Misleading Claims

    The Niger Delta Youths for Positive Change (NDYPC) has cautioned the Project Niger Delta (PND) to desist from emotionally blackmailing responsible sons of the Ijaw Nation currently holding public offices. The group made this known in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Elliot Yibakeni Yibalua, on Sunday.

    The group described PND’s actions as distracting and misleading and vowed to continue rebutting their claims.

    NDYPC specifically addressed three issues: the endorsement of Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, allegations of nepotism and betrayal of public trust, and the demand to ignore the endorsement.

    The group stated that Professor Okaba acted within his constitutional powers in endorsing Dr. Otuaro, and that the allegations of nepotism and betrayal of public trust are unfounded and malicious.

    NDYPC also described PND’s demand that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should ignore Professor Okaba’s endorsement as misplaced and disrespectful.

    The group urged PND to retract their statement and apologize for the harm caused to Professor Okaba and Dr. Otuaro’s reputation and refrain from further meddling in stakeholders’ engagement and efforts. It reiterated that it remains committed to promoting truth, fairness, and collaboration in the Niger Delta region.
