The Federal Government through the office of the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Mr. kingsley Kuku, has concluded arrangements to dispatch 109 youths of the Niger Delta region to study diverse courses in universities and colleges in the United kingdom and Cyprus.
Kuku said during an orientation programme organised for the youths at the Abuja Sheraton Hotel on Saturday that the youths were not repentant militants and were therefore not part of those undergoing reintegration under the supervision of his office.
Some of the institutions listed in the programme of the orientation ceremony are University of Wales, Cambridge Ruskin International College, University of Plymouth, Plymouth Devon Internal College, Anglian Ruskin University, London International College of Business and Technology, Conventory University and Brunel University.
The President's aide said 20 of the beneficiaries had secured admission into Inter College, Larcana in Cyprus.
The 109 youths, who are billed to leave the country for the UK and Cyprus, are to be enrolled for courses which include Medicine, Biomedical sciences, Law, Business Management, Economics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/electronics engineering, Civil Engineering and Computer Engineering.
Kuku said, "You are not ex-militants, you were not militants and you can never be ex-militants, Never!
"The Niger Delta belongs to all of us. You cannot empower only those who carry arms; if you do that you will be encouraging everybody to carry arms."
However, Kuku threatened to ensure immediate deportation of any of the benefitting youths for acts of indiscipline that could undermine the image of the country.

ReplyDelete@ Paulinus Ekarika, from Akwa Ibom, Mend is not very prominent in your state, its not a programme for oil production, its for Militancy, you will need to bomb some oil installations in your state to benefit from this programme :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat of the other guys called Boko Haram, upon the bomb of innocent life and properties, Government does not seem that part of the country as an important, since they do not produce oil; let them go to hell abi? But remember the oil was dogged with the wealth from the North. Allah ya Isa to Northern Leaders who could not contribute positively to the development of North.
