Office of the Presidential Amnesty Programme
among other MDAs.
A statement from the Office of the Vice

implementation work plan that would respond
to the developmental issues and projects
proposed by PANDEF is also being prepared,
while fresh mandates are also being issued to
all relevant MDAs as appropriate.”
According to the statement, other decisions
reached at the meeting include “The FG’s
directive to the Ministry of Petroleum
Resources, NDDC, the Ministries of Niger Delta
Affairs, Environment, Power, Works and
Housing to proceed with the design and
implementation of work plans in line with the
administration’s new vision for the region.
“Ministries and agencies of government
involved in furthering the establishment of the
Maritime University at Okerenkoko in
Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta State, have also
