How Olu of Warri Rescued Stranded Itsekiri PAP Graduates
The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse III, has stepped in to rescue many Itsekiri students-beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), who completed their studies but were denied certificates due to unpaid tuition and clearance fees.
The students, all graduates of Novena University, Ogume, Delta state, had been stranded for years unable to collect their certificates or proceed for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) compulsory one-year scheme.
A statement by Prince Collins Edema, Sole Representative of the Olu of Warri to Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and its Joint Venture partners on Sunday, stated that the monarch approved the intervention to ensure payment of all outstanding fees, ensuring that affected students are cleared and can move forward with their lives.
“The Office of the Sole Representative of His Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse III, CFR the Olu of Warri to NNPCL wishes to inform all Itsekiri students who are beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), and who have graduated from Novena University but have been unable to obtain their certificates or proceed for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) due to outstanding tuition and clearance fees, that His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, CFR, the Olu of Warri, has graciously approved an intervention to resolve this matter.
“In line with His Majesty’s passion and unwavering commitment to the growth, development, and empowerment of the Itsekiri youth, a structured process has been established to address these outstanding obligations,” the statement read.
The affected students were part of the federally sponsored amnesty programme to rehabilitate and empower ex-agitators and youths from the Niger Delta.
The statement called on affected students to complete a Google Form, https://forms.gle/Ah89Gj5CYqqatzrMA, by submitting their details for data collation, which would run from Sunday September 7, to September 30, 2025.
He assured that payment of the tuition and clearance fees of the affected graduands of Itsekiri extraction would commence immediately in batches at the end of the exercise.
Repeated efforts to get a reaction from the Media Aide of the PAP Administrator, Igoniko Oduma, on the latest development failed, showing “line busy”.
