The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has successfully completed the distribution of laptops to its final-year scholarship beneficiaries in universities across Nigeria, aimed at boosting their academic research and performance. A total of 663 laptops were handed over to students enrolled in 26 partnering and 72 non-partnering institutions during an exercise that ran from April to May 2025. Additionally, the PAP conducted a physical verification and orientation programme for 3,171 newly admitted students for the 2024/2025 academic session. According to a statement issued on Wednesday by Mr. Igoniko Oduma, Special Assistant on Media to the PAP Coordinator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, several teams led by the Head of Education, Dr. Charles Ariye, visited universities to distribute the laptops and carry out the verification and orientation activities. Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Otuaro emphasized that the laptop distribution was driven by the recognition of the essential role of mobile computing in supporting students’ academic success. He noted that the gesture was a fulfilment of his earlier promise made during his 2024 tour of partnering institutions. He expressed confidence that the devices would significantly aid the beneficiaries and encouraged them to use the laptops responsibly to justify the government's substantial investment in their education. Dr. Otuaro also highlighted that the verification and orientation were part of his administration’s commitment to due process, transparency, and accountability—ensuring accurate beneficiary data and educating the new intakes on the PAP’s educational framework. He further urged all PAP scholars to remain focused on their studies and avoid actions that could derail their academic goals or jeopardize their future. Reaffirming his dedication to the programme’s goals, Dr. Otuaro pledged continued support for the development and stability of the Niger Delta, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s vision for peace and progress in the region.
