The Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari has approved the renewal of the appointment of retired Colonel Milland Dikio as Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme for another one-year tenure.

Colonel Dikio was first appointed in August 2020, and has, despite the challenges, been able to command widespread respect amongst the various stakeholders in the Niger Delta.

The Presidential Amnesty Programme was initiated by the late President Umaru YarÁdua in 2009, as an unconditional pardon for militants of the Niger-Delta region, who agreed then to down their tools.
