FLOOD: EX-AGITATORS DONATE N52.7M TO VICTIMS

Former agitators in the Niger Delta have donated the sum of N52,716,000 (Fifty Two Million Seven Hundred and Sixteen Thousand Naira) to victims of the flood disaster in the region.
Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Hon. Kingsley Kuku, who disclosed this, said the 26,358 amnesty beneficiaries in Phases One and Two of the programme agreed to donate about N2000 (Two Thousand Naira) individually from their October 2012 allowances to alleviate the suffering of victims in Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers states.


The Head of Media and Communications, Mr Daniel Alabrah, in a statement on Tuesday, said that staffers of the Presidential Amnesty Office have also donated between 20 and 30 per cent of their October allowances to support the efforts of the federal and states government on the flood situation.
Already, the PAP chairman has constituted an 18-member Flood Relief Committee comprising of key stakeholders in the amnesty programme and volunteers. The committee is headed by the Technical Assistant on Reintegration, Mr Larry Pepple.
Kuku commended the amnesty beneficiaries for their selfless and humanitarian gesture.
“This is very commendable as it is a practical demonstration of the African spirit and tradition of being your brother’s keeper in times of distress,” Kuku said.
He added that the committee will procure the necessary relief materials and liaise with the various states government in ensuring the distribution of the items.
Kuku, who is the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, will also pay courtesy visit to governors of the affected states.
