With a population estimated at 25
million people, the Niger Delta Region is primed to benefit from a growing
population of college educated young people. The Presidential Amnesty Programme
realizes the imperatives for a knowledge driven society and has since 2009
given full education scholarships to thousands of youth from the Region. Most
of these beneficiaries have excelled in their chosen areas of studies, with
many clinching First and Second-Class Upper honours in disciplines such as
Medicine, Forensic Sciences, International Diplomacy and Law. The
performance of student delegates abroad has been even more stunning.
Between 2015 and 2016, a total of 454 graduated mainly from
British Universities with 20 graduating First Class and 41, Second
Class Upper. PAP has also ensured the effective management of student
delegates abroad through collaboration with Nigerian Embassies and High Commission;
this has led to remarkable reduction in student agitation.
