The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Otuaro, on Sunday, paid a working visit to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc AFP Furniture Showroom and PrimeTech offices in Abuja. The visit was aimed at exploring strategic collaborations that will open new frontiers of skills training for beneficiaries of the programme.
The discussions focused on harnessing opportunities in high-quality furniture and woodwork, as well as sustainable architectural design and engineering solutions built on global standards. The initiative is designed to equip ex-agitators and other beneficiaries with modern technical expertise that enhances employability, fosters entrepreneurship, and positions them to thrive in an evolving economy.
Dr. Otuaro, speaking during the visit, highlighted that the partnership drive reflects the PAP’s vision of human capital development and meaningful reintegration. He explained that reputable institutions like Julius Berger and PrimeTech bring to the table not only state-of-the-art facilities but also mentorship and innovative technologies that can redefine the future of beneficiaries.
According to Otuaro, said:
" UNLOCKING NEW ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NIGER DELTA
Intentional skill development remains one of the critical and viable components of human capital development that enables fast-paced regional and national economic growth. Consequently, it was an exhilarating moment yesterday as I visited the Julius Berger Nigeria Plc AFP Furniture Showroom and PrimeTech in Abuja to explore opportunities for high-quality training in furniture making, woodwork, as well as sustainable architectural design and engineering solutions, as we look forward to activating another stream of high-end skill acquisition and empowerment scheme under the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), designed for ex-agitators and beneficiaries, and premised on global standards. I am confident that these partnerships will unlock new dimensions of skilled entrepreneurs and workmen and women, fostering job creation and the economic prosperity of our people.
“Our goal is to provide world-class opportunities that empower our beneficiaries to become builders of prosperity, not just for themselves, but for the Niger Delta and Nigeria at large,” the statement added.
However, the move marks another milestone in the PAP’s renewed efforts to broaden post-training empowerment schemes, creating pathways for beneficiaries to transition seamlessly into productive ventures and contribute significantly to the socio-economic transformation of their communities.
