Stakeholders in the Niger Delta region have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to pick a competent candidate this time around as Special Adviser to the Amnesty Programme. 

Stating this in a statement made available to our correspondence, the Ijaw People’s Development Front, noted that the call was necessary because of the ongoing search by the Federal Government for a Special Adviser to the Amnesty Program.“We want a competent and dedicated person for that office who knows the struggles of the Niger Delta people,” the statement said. 

While expressing concern over the purported push by the National Security Adviser (NSA) to the President , Maj. General Monguno, to make his former course mate, Col. Abel Dadis (rtd), Coordinator of the Amnesty Program, the statement noted: “We are dismayed that the NSA is planning to impose a candidate like Col Abel (rtd), a former chief of staff to Gen. Paul Boroh (rtd), former Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme, who was sacked for incompetence and gross corruption by President Buhari.”  ” How can Gen Monguno appoint a man who worked with Boroh who’s being investigated by the EFFC and standing trial for corruption and embezzlement of funds?”. 

The statement added that such a move was a ploy to cover up the massive looting and rot in the Amnesty Programme in the past five years.

The Federal government has asked airlines to begin the process for the resumption of international flights.     National coordinator of the presidential task force on COVID-19, Aliyu Sani, disclosed this at the daily press briefing of the task force today Thursday, August 6.      In his words    

 “The restrictions in the entertainment and education sector as well as other activities that attract mass gatherings such as operation of markets and worship centres, remain. Specific to air transportation, domestic operations have already resumed as well as the railways.      For international travel, we have made recommendations to the aviation industry to commence the process for opening international airports provided all existing international and local prevention guidelines on Covid-19 are in place.    

 We have modified the advice with regards to the arrival for flights. Passengers arriving at the airports for domestic flights are advised to arrive at least one and a half hours before their flights and three hours before international flights when it is restarted.    

 There might be requirements for additional infrastructure in some of the airports. What we want to do, and we have made it very clear at the PTF is, we want to reopen as soon as possible but in a safe manner that does not put at risk all the efforts we have made to control this pandemic. Hopefully, the airports would open in weeks, rather than months. That is what we are looking at” he said    

Aliyu also announced that the 10pm to 4am nationwide curfew still remains. He also announced that daycares and primary schools remain closed and should only open for those in exiting classes that require to sit for their transiting examinations. He said gyms, bars and cinemas remain shut.

However, while primary schools must remain closed, registered pupils may proceed to take the National Common Entrance as soon as it is feasible, provided there is compliance with issued non-pharmaceutical guidelines. For secondary and tertiary institutions, these remain closed. However, we have made arrangements for exiting and graduating students in their final year of secondary school to partake in exams in line with guidelines issued by the Federal Ministry of Education.     

However, schools must comply with the six (6) recommended steps and required measures issued by the Federal Ministry of Education and which is available online. There are no new changes to places of worship – our policy remains the same.
