'WE OWE NO ONE' -Presidential Amnesty office.

The Coordinator, Presidential Amnesty Programme, Brig.- Gen. P.T. Boroh has refuted allegations
making the rounds that his office is owing arrears in payment to beneficiaries of the amnesty
programme.
In a press release signed by the Chief of Staff, Office of the Special
Adviser to the President on Niger Delta/Coordinator of the
Presidential Amnesty Programme, Colonel Dedis Abel (Rtd), the
Amnesty Office stated that these allegations were merely the
handiwork of sponsored groups and individuals, who were hell
bent on tarnishing the reputation of the new Special Adviser and
Coordinator of the programme.
“These allegations stem from claims of alleged non-payment of
arrears in the Amnesty Office which Colonel Dedis Abel (Rtd) noted
is being perpetrated in a bid to tarnish the reputation of the new
Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta (SAPND) and the
Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme”, he said.
The agency stated that it had paid every beneficiaries up to the
month of June 2015.
He explained further that based on the Federal Government’s
directive on the CBN Treasury Single Account, the Amnesty Office
was no longer directly involved or responsible for remittances as
all payments were now being made from the CBN Treasury Single
Account (TSA) to eliminate fraud.
“The Chief of Staff thereby calls on members of the Public to
debunk all reports not obtained directly from the Amnesty Office
Call Centre, where all information relating to the Amnesty
Programme is being made available first hand to interested parties
by the Amnesty Office Media Team.
“The Amnesty Office reassures members of the Public that
payments for July and August 2015 are being processed and
would be released once funds are allocated”, the statement added.
