THE IMPORTANCE OF A MAN IS
DETERMINED BY HIS IMPACT ON PEOPLES LIVES
Many see politics today as
a game where the key players have similar characteristics when it comes to
fulfilling promises. Many a politician has over the years fraudulently attained
positions and promised very unrealistic solutions to lives problems. We see
these politicians every now and then tricking the masses with paltry sum only
to be voted in and "booooph" they disappear into thin air, looting
and carting away with billions of public funds.
This sought of politics is
the reason why people lost faith and have shaking trust in the system long time
ago. This has made so many Nigerians visualize politics as a means of
livelihood. The above isn't the case of some well-meaning Nigerians though, an
exemplary figure, a flower that grew out of a concrete has overtime been
proving to the people of the South - South that positive possibilities is
attainable through selfless services, human resources based initiatives, youth
empowerment programmes, personality building and humanitarian driven
programmes.
This man is an angel sent
to salvage the people of the South South region since his installment as the
Head person in charge of the Amnesty programme. Hence the Special Adviser to
the President on Niger Delta/Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme,
Brigadier General Paul Boroh (Rtd), recently he has been using technical
experts with commendable talents recruited from previous beneficiaries of the scheme
that had been trained internationally so as to proffer lasting solutions to
problems they encountered during their course year abroad.
He has been on ground
working tirelessly to discover valuable contributions to society in line with
the on-going reintegration strategy of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. More
so, recognition of outstanding accomplishments by beneficiaries is in due
process, opinionated by the Coordinator (Gen. Boroh, Rtd) with the intention of
setting commendable standards for the upcoming generation, thereby making the
beneficiaries more useful to themselves, immediate environment and country at
large. Currently, there are over 6000 beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty
programme who have hence become more productive, law abiding, less violent/more
receptive to government policies.
Technically it is
therefore highly commendable and worthy of note that a good job is been saddled
by the General looking at all these transformation going on from every angle in
the Niger - Delta It looks very magical, real though that former agitators have
simply become vanguards of peace and tranquility in Nigeria.
Back in Malaysia, I lived
with some of the Niger Delta Ex Militants (agitators) looking back at when they
came into the education system abroad and now, they have completely changed
from the very scary and inpatient people to well refined handsome looking cool
minded individuals.
It is therefore with this
symmetrical comparison that I wish to commend firstly the Nigerian Government
for these wonderful initiative towards curbing future insurgency and the
present Pilot of the initiative. I must say here that General Paul Boroh (Rtd)
is an exemplary figure, a living legend and of course a pace setter in the
piloting of the affairs of the government initiative and projecting
beneficiaries to places above their expectations as creation of Jobs for
graduates in ongoing currently as we speak. According to sources, Vocational
skill Acquisition is at its peak of which those without basic primary school
education have been inculcated.
Speaking to Engr. Gbaboyor
Jude, IT Consultant and CEO of Jaygreat Farms, he stated clearly that ideas are
welcomed from in and out of the country to better the lives and future of the
Niger Delta people.
He further explained that
a website that will receive suggestions, criticism of any sought and possibly
Idea recommendations and or complains of the entire populace of the Niger Delta
region will be put in place and funded by his office so that fairness and
transparency will be ascertained in line with the present political
dispensation. According to Engr. Gbaboyor Jude, "It is only natural that
when our efforts are acknowledged and respected as been part of a team we are
motivated to do more. Gen. Boroh is second to none so far as regards leadership
qualities as Special Adviser to the Niger Delta and Coordinator of the
Presidential Amnesty Programme.
LONG LIVE GEN. PAUL BOROH,
LONG LIVE NIGER – DELTA,
LONG LIVE NIGERIA.
