This Four Niger-Delta ex-militants were employed as University lecturers



The Four  militants who are Niger Delta's, who put down their arms,  and went back to school to make First Class Bachelor’s degrees, were employed to be lec­turers at Benson Idahosa Uni­versity in Edo State.

 The co-ordinator of the Presi­dential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Brig-Gen. Paul Boroh (rtd), the names of the ex militant's that are now  lecturers are Fianka Diamond Tamara (Computer Science), Debrah Ikpaazaere (Business Administration), Odiki Otogo (Political Science and Public Administration) and Lucky Boleidowa (Political Sci­ence and Public Administra­tion).
Boroh made this disclosure at an interactive session with journalists in Abuja.
“As a matter of fact,  Benson Idahosa University retained the lecturers, four of our students who had First Class. The perfor­mance of our students abroad was even more intresting. A total of 454 of them graduated mainly from British universities with 20 having First Class and 41, Second Class Upper,” he added.
He also said that the recent visits of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to states in the Niger Delta region was a winning formula which has solidified the relationship between the region and the administration.
“Perhaps our greatest achievement is contributing to the maintenance of peace in the Niger Delta which has resulted in zero vandalism of oil facili­ties,” he said.
