Twenty-eight out of the
100 ex-Niger Delta militants registered for training at the National
Energy Skills Centre in Trinidad and Tobago were reportedly deported for
offences against “national interest” while 15 dropped on
health
grounds, it was revealed on Thursday.
However, 57 who participated in the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme graduated on Wednesday.
Out of the number, 10
were awarded scholarships for their master’s degrees at the Caribbean
University for their exemplary performance. The awards were said to be
the first since the establishment of the institution 64 years ago.
The Federal Government
was said to have expended over $6m on the programme with the
ex-militants training in Automotive Service Maintenance, Heavy Equipment
Operations and Millwright and Shielded Metal Arc Wielding.
