The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Otuaro has promised to ensure the participation of more women in the Niger Delta peace process. Otuaro made the pledge while addressing a cross section of Niger Delta women at a meeting in Warri, Delta State, on Tuesday.
The meeting had the theme, ‘ Niger Delta Women Empowerment: A Panacea for Peace, Stability and Economic Growth in The Region'. He said that his administration will ensure the inclusion of more Niger Delta women in the implementation of the PAP mandate. According to him, the women folk of the region would be an integral part of the consultation process initiated by the PAP Office for its peace-building efforts to foster sustainable peace, stability and economic growth in the area.
Otuaro further noted that several female youths also suffered great personal losses while the women folk, alongside their communities, became the first casualties in the attendant conflicts resulting from the agitation. He said President Bola Tinubu takes women empowerment seriously and has endorsed the PAP Office's initiatives to support girl-child learning.
