ABUJA: President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh as the coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme for former Niger Delta militants.
He approved the appointment of Prof. Charles Dokubo as the new helmsman.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, announced the change in Abuja yesterday.
Prof. Dokubo is a director of Research and Studies at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs. He holds a PhD in Strategic Studies from the University of Bradford, United Kingdom and hails from Abonema in Akuku-Toru Local Government of Rivers State.
The President has directed the National Security Adviser (NSA) to carry out investigation into the activities of the Amnesty Programme from 2015 to date.
According to Adesina, the investigation should particularly cover the allegations of “financial impropriety and other acts that are allegedly detrimental to the objectives of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.’’
