Amnesty Programme Trains 20 Aircraft Engineers

Twenty aircraft maintenance engineers have graduated from the Aviation Training Programme organised by the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP).

The beneficiaries are part of the 75 pilots and aircraft maintenance engineers under the PAP Aviation Resuscitation Programme for ex-agitators from the Niger Delta.

Speaking yesterday in Lagos at the graduation of the trainees, Maj.-Gen. Barry Ndiomu (rtd), the interim administrator of PAP, stated that the initiatives deployed by the PAP were designed to improve the lives of young people.

He said the training was critical to the supply of manpower globally in strategic industries and trade sectors.

Ndiomu was represented by Wilfred Musa, PAP’s Head of Reintegration.

He recalled that his administration decided to throw its weight behind the Aviation Resuscitation Programme, given the enormous opportunities that abound in the aviation industry and its relevance in building human capacity.

Ndiomu said that the programme had a global relevance (NAN).
