By EgbemaVoice,

Earlier today 15th March 2025, the National Association Of the Presidential Amnesty Students Worldwide (NAPAS) visited the National president of the Ijaw Publishers' Forum (IPF), Comrade Ozobo Austin at his Warri office.

The visit was led by its national president Comr Ebidouwei Miyenpirigha and the union's women leader Comr Embelakpo Emeka.

The PAP students' expressed gratitude to the administrator of the presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro for his uncommon achievements with the short time in office, adding that Niger Delta leaders and stakeholders should give him every necessary support to enable him do more for the amnesty programme.

The student's body during the visit, appealed to IPF to call the president Ahmed Bola Tinubu to increase the amnesty programme annual budget to enable the PAP administrator also increase the stipends of beneficiaries- including delegates monthly stipends, vocational training and scholarship students allowances.

Speaking during the visit, the students lamented that the economy situation of 2009 when the N65,000 monthly stipend was proposed for Amnesty delegates and the economy situation of now are not the same, citing that N65,000 can't provide anything in a home nowadays.

They emphasised, "Mr president should know that N90, 000, monthly vocational training allowance and N70,000 monthly scholarship students' up keep can't create a balance for the beneficiaries in the country today".

However, the visit was also to formally inform the IPF's president and invite him for the forthcoming PAP students' national convention in March 2025.

The amnesty students strongly appealed to the IPF to draw Mr. President's attention to the plights of the amnesty students, PAP delegates and vocational trainees with a view of increasing the PAP annual budget.

IPF's president, Ozobo in his response, appreciated the PAP students for finding him and IPF worthy to be visited. He promised to provide the needed support and reached out to necessary stakeholders to support their convention.

Ozobo, said IPF will lead the advocacy to appeal with Mr president to increase the PAP annual budget to create an enabling environment for the PAP delegates, students and vocational trainees.
