Senators and House of Reps members have thumped-up the amnesty programme, describing its implementation as judicious usage of public funds. They gave the commendation at the Afrika Union Aviation Academy in South Africa yesterday after embarking on solo flights with pilot trainees under the presidential amnesty programme. Apart from the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Hon. Kingsley Kuku, the Senate Leader, Abdul Ningi and Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta, Nurudeen Abatemi-Usman, also undertook solo flights. Others were the Chairman, House Committee on Niger Delta, Hon. Warman Ogoriba and another member of the committee, Hon. Ogbonna Nwuke.
The NASS members are visiting some of the PAP training centres in South Africa in continuation of their oversight duties. Hear Senator Ningi: "The amnesty programme has exceeded our expectation. What we saw here gives us hope in Nigeria. We are very proud of these young Nigerians. They are our worthy ambassadors in this country (South Africa). "Besides, this is a practical demonstration that the funds allocated to the programme is not a waste; it is not money down the drain."
An excited Senator Abatemi-Usman described the YOUNG PILOTS as the Future of Nigeria's Aviation Industry, saying the National Assembly will continue to support the programme and expand its scope.
Others in the team are Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and Hon. Moshood Mustapha. Our own veteran pilot and aviation guru, Captain Prekeme Porbeni, was also present. Thirty-five delegates are currently being trained at the AUAA. Seven of them were presented private pilot certificate, one got commercial pilot certificate and another a first solo flight certificate. The tour continues today with visit to the Flight Training Services in Midrand. - Dan Alabrah 14/09/12
