PAP: 26 Ex-Militants For Aircraft Maintenance Training
The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has unveiled a five-week training for 26 ex-militants from the Niger-Delta Region, who would undergo skill acquisition as Aircraft Maintenance Engineers.
The PAP
Interim Administrator, PAP, Maj-Gen Barry Ndiomu (rtd), made this known on Tuesday, in a statement.
According to him, the training would mark a significant milestone in their journey towards certification and rating as licensed professionals.
It was gathered that the beneficiaries formed part of the 75 pilots under the PAP Aviation Resuscitation Programme for ex-agitators of the Niger Delta region.
Recall that the first set of 20 Aircraft Maintenance Engineers earlier graduated on October 31, 2023, under the initiative.
Addressing the beneficiaries, Maj-Gen Ndiomu (rtd), described the flag-off of training for the second batch is another “promise kept” by his administration.
He pointed out that at the moment, the global aviation industry was expanding at a rapid pace, which has seen manpower development take the front burner at both operators and regulators levels.
This specialised program, in his view, has seen the PAP become a critical supplier of strategic manpower to the global aviation industry.
He said, “You represent not just the future of the Niger Delta, but the future of Nigeria and the global aviation industry.
“The PAP has provided you with all you require to succeed on this journey, what you owe us in return is excellence.”
He further underscored the program’s relevance in providing essential manpower to meet industry demands, while reaffirming PAP’s dedication to consistently creating advanced opportunities for the career development of individuals from the Niger Delta region, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.”
Consequently, he urged the beneficiaries to excel in their endeavours, so that they can help shape the future of the Niger Delta, by contributing to Nigeria and the global aviation sector.
