The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Amnesty Programme, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, has reiterated that youths who are agitating to be included in the programme should forget it.

Insisting that the Amnesty Programme will not be extended beyond 2015, Mr. Kuku urged states and local governments in the Niger Delta to put together a progressive programme for women and youths in the region.

The President’s aide was speaking in Abuja when a delegation from the Niger-Delta Student Union Government visited him. Mr. Kuku explained that such initiative by the states and councils would address the agitations by several youth groups to be added into the Federal Government programme.

He confirmed that the third phase of the Amnesty Programme is already in progress, as the inter-agency team led by Air Vice Marshall James Gbum is going round the Niger Delta states to carry out disarmament.

Mr. Kuku had last week announced that the programme will end in 2015 despite the agitation by several groups springing up in the region demanding to be accommodated in the programme.
