Three repentant militants who got Nigerian government scholarships to study abroad under the Niger Delta Amnesty programme have bagged First class honours in UK universities.
Eighteen others got Second Class Upper (2:1).

Nicholas Goodness and Terubein Fawei who graduated from the University of Bedfordshire finished with first class honours in public relations, telecommunication and networking engineering respectively.
Lucky Azibanagein also graduated with first class in mechanical engineering and Robotic system from the University of Liverpool.
In an event organised by the Nigerian High Commission in the UK, on Friday, the Coordinator of Presidential Amnesty Programme, Paul Boroh, congratulated the graduates for making Nigeria proud.
He restated President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment towards ensuring that the amnesty programme is sustained and its desired goals achieved.
“President Buhari is ever ready to implement the blueprint upon which the amnesty programme was established. The era of impunity and phoney contracts are gone for good,” Mr. Boroh said.
Mr. Boroh, a retired General of the Nigerian Army, also called on other militants such as the Niger Delta Avengers to emulate the militants who “laid down their arms to embrace education that can make them indispensable to the world”.


He cautioned the ‘economic saboteurs’ to embrace dialogue and Mr. Buhari on his agenda to develop the Niger Delta region.
Apart from the three that bagged First Class, 18 other students in various UK universities from different disciplines also graduated with second class upper division.
Below is the complete list of the graduates:

Good of them!

But the question is "will they be useful for Nigeria?
Very likely they decide settling abroad.

These brains would have wasted in the creeks. No man is born without a gift.... there is something good in everybody.

thanx to goodluck govt for making this possible

The Federal Government Should employ them immediately!

Oh, really? Nice 1 anyway

Why is this news just coming out now? FG thinks this will change the mind of the present militants!

I dont think this will change them, what the today's militants needs now is money and contracts. They are all bunch of f00ls.

Congrats to the graduants. I just hope they stay back and develop more before coming home. The present situations at home is not favourable at all. We have a lot 1st class @home without job.

They will still pick up arms if given the opportunity....

They were never militants jare we all knew how Tompolo,Asari and boyloaf included most youths/relations into the list of militancy to get financial compensation as ex-militants

make dem no go use their exposure go dey bomb pipeline oo!

good for them

I pray the actions and in actions of the present FG wont allow them to go back to the creeks. Else, it will be the danger of giving a criminal foreign education. The disaster would be unfathomable!

Guess many of such guys are in NDA, that's why their attacks against pipelines is full of precision and accuracy with zero human lives!

Nice one

They are likely not really militants. Smart and desperate from the ND guys who had never held scissors in their life put their names down when the government was collating names then. At least I am sure of this.
Goodluck to them and congrats.
