By Comrade Amb Victor Monday Olajide, Abuja The Presidential Amnesty Programme wishes to reiterate that its scholarship scheme is free of charge. The PAP, once again, alerts members of the public, particularly, Niger Deltans, that the scholarship application process for undergraduate and post-graduate programmes does not involve payment of money.

This clarification has, again, become necessary following complaints to the Office of the Administrator, Dr Dennis Otuaro, that some unscrupulous PAP stakeholders and dubious individuals are allegedly collecting money from parents and guardians with all sorts of fake assurances of admissions. We have warned against this fraudulent act before now. No applicant, parent or guardian should pay money to anybody for the PAP scholarship programme. If you pay money t...

By Abdullahi Abubakar Our attention has been drawn to a mischievous and fabricated report authored by one Rabiu Omaku alleging that there was a stampede, fainting of women, and mismanagement during the food and cash distribution programme organized by the immediate past Inspector General of Police, Retired IGP Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, in Doma.
