PAP explains why it suspend education scholarship to delegates

Amgbare Ekaunkumo, Yenagoa

THE Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, has explained the reason behind the suspension of awarding of fresh scholarship to delegates of the program.

The Agency noted that the suspension was as a result of the PAP’s financial situation due to debts incured by the previous formal education scholarship awards and other commitments, while assuring that the suspension will be lifted as soon as the obligations are cleared.

In a statement signed by the Technical Assistant to the Interim Administrator, Flt Lt Terry Ajobena (rtd), it was clearly stated that all delegates on formal education, both onshore and offshore remain bonafide beneficiaries and will continue to enjoy approved privileges attached to their various scholarship schemes.

The Agency disclosed this as a result of allegation awashed in the mainstream media that the PAP has discontinued the sponsorship of formal education scholarship awards.
