Three former Niger Delta militants have graduated with a first class degree from universities in the United Kingdom.
They are among those sponsored by the federal government under the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme.
Nicholas Goodness and Terubein Fawei graduated from the University of Bedfordshire with first class honours in public relations, telecommunication and networking engineering respectively, while Lucky Azibanagein graduated with first class in mechanical engineering and robotic system from the University of Liverpool.
Eighteen others graduated with second class upper degrees also from UK universities.
Reacting, the Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Paul Boroh, congratulated the ex-militants, assuring that President Muhammadu Buhari will sustain the amnesty programme.
“President Buhari is ever ready to implement the blueprint upon which the amnesty programme was established.
“The era of impunity and phony contracts are gone for good,” Boroh said.
The presidential aide further called on restive militants to embrace peace.
