The Paul boroh led Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta in it's commitment and dedication to further develop the people of region, embarked on a Verification exercise in Ondo state, to access the performances of some of it's delegates who were empowered last year.
The verification team led by Gbaboyor Jude met with Aboyewa Perelatei at Okitipupa in Ondo State, who was empowered on Electrical & Electronic appliances last year.
The reports were good, Mr. Perelatei who was in the creek engaging in arms and pipeline vandalism before the Amnesty, has transformed into a full blown entrepreneur, he has kept his bussiness going and has also become an employer of labour.
If more youths will utilise this opportunity to transform their lives, the days of militancy, pipeline vandalism, and kidnapping, will be far behind us.
Also, another delegate, Ikuedoho James Idowu, who was empowered on food stuffs, was visited, but his shop was met empty.
According to James, he narrated his ordeal, blaming the emptiness to series of robbery attack, which has caused set backs for both himself and his family, he pleaded with the office for a second chance to enable him resuscitate his business
