The Presidential Amnesty Office has appealed
to the Federal Government to establish three basic training centres in
the Niger Delta for former militants to reduce capital flight.
The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley
Kuku made this call in Abuja when the Nigerian High Commissioner in
Ghana, Oluseyi Onafowokan paid him a courtesy visit.
Mr Kuku urged the Federal Government to expand the ambit of operations of the Amnesty Office to set up at least three basic skill training centres for training in oil and gas, marine operations, and construction skill centres.
The amnesty boss said that since the commencement of the amnesty programme in 2009, 393 former militants had graduated from various training institutions in Ghana.
They graduated from courses ranging from welding and fabrication, agriculture and fish farming, crane operation, maritime and drilling technology.
He said that currently, 383 of the former militants were receiving training in Ghana.
