Third Phase delegates of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) have commended the initiatives of the current PAP leadership, especially the Cooperative Scheme and the strategic coordination of the Scholarship Scheme.
At an interactive meeting with stakeholders and PAP delegates yesterday in Benin, the delegates noted that the communication style of the PAP Interim Administrator, Maj-Gen. Barry Ndiomu (rtd) has arrested brewing tensions in the region.
The National President, PAP Third Phase Leaders, Elaye Slaboh said: “We are very happy with the Interim Administrator. With the way and manner he is handling the Programme, if he continues like this, then the best is yet to come.”
Earlier, PAP Interim Administrator represented by the Head of Reintegration in the Amnesty Office,Wilfred Musa noted that the whole essence of the interactive meeting was to bring members of the Third Phase up to speed with the vision and mission of the current PAP leadership.
He called for an overhaul of questionable attitudes among delegates, stating that, “a good number of our delegates can not hold jobs because of their attitudes.”
The PAP leadership expressed worry over poor performance of delegates under its Scholarship Scheme across various higher institutions of learning, stating that rather than engaging in serious reading culture, they are engaged in frivolous petitions against the PAP leadership.
Ndiomu frowned at the shoddy performance of some delegates in their recent examinations, where some of them were dropped.
To raise the standards, he opined that, “PAP has resolved to prioritise admission for delegates into any university of their choice, but it will no longer be business as usual.
“The PAP cannot be involved in wasteful venture with poor standards. We will only support those who are willing to be trained within the Amnesty Programme.”
