Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator, Amnesty Programme, Brigadier General Paul Boroh (rtd) Wednesday called on militants in the Niger Delta to drop arms and embrace peace.
Speaking at the Institute of Oceanography in the University of Calabar, during the graduation ceremony of 72 ex-militants who were trained in fishery, Boroh said blowing up pipelines was counter-productive and would only hurt the people of the region.
He debunked rumours about the stopping of the amnesty programme, saying it was still on course and successful.
