Obrumu Urges FG to recruit Ex-Agitators into Police, Teachers, others Before Termination

Warri ______ Candidate of the Young Progressive Party, YPP in the forthcoming 2023 general elections for Bomadi Constituency in Delta State House Assembly, Hon. Comr. Tam Oburumu has advised President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government of Nigeria to as a matter of public importance convert and recruit the genuine beneficiaries of the Amnesty Program for the Niger Delta Ex-Agitators into the Nigeria Police Force, Civil Defence, Teaching Profession and other relevant agencies before planning to terminate the program.

Comrade Tam stated this on Monday at Bomadi during ward to ward campaign, noted that government cannot continue paying monthly Sixty five thousand naira (N65, 000) stipend to ghost workers who sit at home idle until month end without doing anything.

Oburumu is of the opinion that if those Ex-Agitators are engaged meaningfully as he suggested, it is then the government can think of stopping the program or else there shall be no peace in the country, especially the Niger Delta region.

He however, called on our elected legislators in the National Assembly to proceed on promulgating a law to that effect, stressing that Nigeria Police Force needs more manpower in the fight against crime and these young men who just sit at home idle and earn 65k monthly in the name of amnesty can be automatically converted into such responsibility.

In his words, he said:

About the Amnesty Program.

" In my onion, the Federal Government should compulsorily convert  beneficiaries of the amnesty program for the Niger -Delta militants into the police force , Civil Defence and Teaching Profession.

Instead of planning to halt the program or to continue paying the monthly 65k stipend, the Nigerian government should convert the beneficiaries of the program who have the required qualifications into the police force , Civil Defence Corps and teaching profession.

Government cannot  continue be in this wild goose chase just to keep oil flowing from the region.

" We have beneficiaries who command the educational prerequisite to become secondary school teachers . Instead of sitting idle at home and waiting for the monthly amnesty stipend that ends up in beer pubs and brothels, government should engage them with civic or public responsibilities.

They should be given jobs that have promotional cadres and retirement benefits and other incentives.

" I urge our legislators at the National Assembly to look into this and proceed on promulgating a law to that effect.

The Nigeria Police Force  needs more personnel in the fight against crime and these young men who just sit down at home idle and earn 65k monthly in the name of amnesty can be automatically converted into such responsibility .

Just like the police force, the teaching profession needs more hands . We have amnesty beneficiaries who through the program have become graduates in various fields.

" They should be converted to primary or  secondary school teachers in their respective LGAs or  states that will earn them promotions and retirement benefits.

Government should stop the monthly payment of 65k for the amnesty program which has succeeded in  making our young people lazy and unnecessarily wasteful and key into this my  suggestion.

" This should be done after a transparent screening exercise to know the accurate present number of  beneficiaries in the program in other to  flush out falsification and  multiplication of ghost names," the statement added.
