Re-appointment of Barry A Sign of Buhari's Readiness to Finish Strong - IYC

 

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC)  has said that  the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to re-appoint Maj.-Gen. Barry Tariye Ndiomu (retd), as the interim administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), was a clear sign of his desire to finish strong and ensure sustained peace in the Niger Delta region. 

According to the IYC, although anti-development forces and trouble makers tried desperately to distort the developmental strides   put in place by the Ndiomu led administration at the Amnesty office,  IYC stated that his re-appointment was a blessing to the youths of the region. 

Ekerefe who urged Ndiomu to see his reappointment as divine, encouraged him to stay focus and implement his laudable plans for the Niger Delta, especially the youths of the region. 

In a statement issued by the National Spokesman, Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe,  IYC noted that the appointment of Maj.-Gen. Barry Tariye Ndiomu (retd) will further create cohesion and sustain the sanity and order in the Programme. 

 He also called on the youths of the region to ensure that the last few weeks of the present administration is allowed to end with a more peaceful and sustained Presidential Amnesty office with clear cut ways of handling and protecting the welfare and empowerment of Niger Delta youths.

The statement read  "The appointment of Maj.-Gen. Barry Tariye Ndiomu (retd) showed that the series of trump allegations and unfounded claims against the Presidential Amnesty Office was frivolous and  were dismissed by President Buhari in that  he decided to re appoint a man of proven military discipline and administrative integrity". 

"We commend him for supporting various empowerment programmes as well as promoting the employment of academic and technically proficient former dreedom fighters and youths of the Niger Delta region. 

"We will  continue to work closely with you to ensure that issues affecting teeming youths of the region are tackled.
