Paul Boroh, the
co-ordinator, Presidential Amnesty Programme, has appealed to the
ex-militants in the Niger Delta region to bear government over the
current delay to paid their stipends.
In a statement by Mr Piriye Kiyaramo,
his media coordinator, Amnesty Programme, Bayelsa Liaison Office on
Friday, August 12, 2016, said that Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, was
saddled with the responsibility of effecting the payments of stipends
directly to the ex-agitators in region, in line with the Treasury Single
Accounts, TSA.
He said that the Amnesty Office had been
making efforts to ensure that the outstanding stipends were paid, and
appealed to them to have faith in the payment process.
“I must recall that the TSA is a public
accounting system under which all government revenue, receipts and
income are collected into one single account.
“This account is usually maintained by
the CBN and all payments are being done through this account as well; I
am urging you all to have faith,” he said
