Public Notice: Presidential Amnesty Scholarship Scheme is Free, Otuaro Tells Parent/Guardian Not to Pay Money to Anybody
The Presidential Amnesty Programme wishes to reiterate that its scholarship scheme is free of charge.
The PAP, once again, alerts members of the public, particularly, Niger Deltans, that the scholarship application process for undergraduate and post-graduate programmes does not involve payment of money.
The PAP does not accept money or encourage same in exchange for services, including the placement of successful applicants in institutions for admissions in any academic year.
This clarification has, again, become necessary following complaints to the Office of the Administrator, Dr Dennis Otuaro, that some unscrupulous PAP stakeholders and dubious individuals are allegedly collecting money from parents and guardians with all sorts of fake assurances of admissions.
We have warned against this fraudulent act before now. No applicant, parent or guardian should pay money to anybody for the PAP scholarship programme. If you pay money to anybody, you do so at your own risk.
The management of the PAP under the leadership of Dr Otuaro will not hesitate to take drastic measures against anybody caught involved in this nefarious act.

Mr Igoniko Oduma
Special Assistant on Media to the Administrator, Presidential Amnesty Programme.
