Some critics of the presidential amnesty program, Pap, have questioned his continuous stay, an indication of their underestimation of what dad has achieved in his 16 years. They don’t care. They are part of those who find reasons not to support the improvements of the Niger delta. Interestingly, some of them come from the Region. Their experience is in putting themselves, only themselves, before.
Another pointer to the many Pap challenges is the recent buzz of the media that Dr. Dennis Otuaro, the current Dad’s administrator, should be changed. He reproached his welcome.
Dr. Otuaro is only 12 months in office. How long does it take to solve problems in dads, some of which have been in circulation since the beginning of the father? What can be achieved in 12 months, outside of continuing with existing programs while new political paths are placed?
With hindsight, it is easy to determine what should have been done with dad that was born in a moment of one of the greatest threats that Nigeria had to face.
The hindsight offers the advantage of being able to analyze the events that had taken place with “wisdom”. In 2007, Pap hit the ground and everyone took off to repair the Nigerian ship that sinks.
Negotiations were underway to guarantee sufficient peace to obtain resources from crude oil to support the economy. At the same time, the militants were convinced to lay the arms with the offer of an amnesty that nobody knew what it was. It was a more interesting moment.
Yar’adua has never had adequate recognition for the skilled moves that he made that they saved the wells of Nigeria from climbing on fire probably with the country. He sailed those waters like a marine. His bad health was not an excuse.
The oil fields were on fire. The bombs were turning off in different parts of the Niger delta. Groups of militants sprouted daily. They formed fiefdom where they swayed.
The militants had their small towns and decided with those who had faced. It was the days when any security agent published on those parts had almost the equivalent of a death sentence on his head.
The warnings of the security agencies for de-boil groups their threats were welcomed with multiple threats. Nigeria was sitting on a time bomb with a light and strong ticking.
The activities of the militants were security and economic threats. The economy was sliding on dangerous sides. The production of oil was immersed in about 700,000 barrels per day, barely to satisfy Nigeria’s obligations.
The deceased president Umaru Musa Yar’adua jumped in question and obtained great results.
He created Pap following a series of consultations with different groups. The militants were convinced of disarming and accepting the government’s amnesty.
They poured into incredible numbers from the inlets. The last count of 2009 was over 29,000. The government had no idea that the militants were so many.
It was from the beginning of Pap that the challenges began. There was a lack of funds, a deficiency of skills and a lack of resources in the fields where the former militants were in quarter. The numbers were overwhelming, united with unfinished fights that some militants and their followers wanted to continue with other groups.
The tenacity of those who manage Pap, the fear of the new militants and the understanding of the government of the importance of father counted.
Yar’adua was not long enough to cultivate Pap at its intention. The subsequent administrations simply tolerated the dad.
They saw the program progress towards another measured success of the interventions to stabilize the Niger delta.
Peace, stability and security generated by Pap for Niger and the country are lost on those who have not witnessed those dark days or have decided to ignore the importance of Pap for other reasons.
The mission of Pap that has been declared how, “to transform ex-aging into entrepreneurs and/or employable citizens who will become clear collaborators to the economy of the region and the country through effective collaboration with relevant public and private institutions and state governments of the region”, has shown that it is more challenging than in such a clear way.
If you decide what to do with over 29,000 was an important issue, problems include adequate education and skills to improve the integration of former militants. The financing remains a very large challenge.
A smaller number of resources involved a cut on the number of scholarships, reduction of numbers that can attend some courses and programs. Pap is continuing with his mandate in line with the times.
An area in which Dr. Otuaro has been exceptional is working with “company stakeholders” to establish partnerships and collaborations that would offer Pap opportunities to expand his works. The dad administrator speaks practically with anyone who thinks has something that the presidential amnesty program needs. Praise to flow for his efforts.
An area did not swept away its trumpet is the way the thousands of former militants who have reformed are making useful contributions to the company. When Pap talks about the number of people who trained enough importance is not made by these statistics with connections that project Pap value chains.
Why do people ask Dr. Otuaro’s head? What did you do in a year that annoys some people?
Dr. Otuaro arrived in a moment of leaner resources. According to reports, some Pap -Stakeholders are not satisfied with the start of the tide. It speaks of “a more structured and sustainable approach to development”.
Sustainable development is an excellent idea and is long -term.
Delicious as the smoked meat is, our elderly insist on the fact that there must be something to warm up with the mouth while waiting for delicacy.
Father’s administrator should reach more to explain his policies to the public, even in times of peace. He is in the best position to let us know his vision of dads and where he needs him. We should help him. When we do it, we would have helped ourselves, Dr. Otuaro, not dad. The stability that Pap provides in Niger is too important to be left to the guess.
Pap needs more resources to do more. The next task of Dr. Otuaro is to find these resources.
Finally…
Omobola Adeseye Ogunlewe, 81 years old, former senator, former minister of works, weighed on the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Auduaghan. He said that Natasha’s beauty was fundamental for the dispute; It is too beautiful to be ignored. He did not suggest a termination of the election of beautiful women. An elderly spoke.
Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of the state of Kaduna, has made a couple of confessions that should affect the security agencies. He said he met some people who made monetary payments to improve their possibility of being minister. He did not indicate that he had reported that crimes, formally called corruption and incentive, to the police.
There have been too many petroleum accidents and many lost lives that the authorities should have found a solution. Does the lives don’t count anymore? After all they should import: “People’s security and well -being should be the main purpose of the government,” says our Constitution.
Another suicide off the famous third continental bridge. Suicide is not a solution, but a final pain like jumping from a bridge challenges us individually to worry more. Too many things are happening around us. We are saving ourselves: the government is too busy being government.
