The Presidential Adviser on Niger Delta, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, has disclosed that the amnesty programme for Niger Delta militants recouped an average of N33 billion into the nation’s coffers, leading to unprecedented successes in infrastructure development. In a briefing weekend, Mr. Kuku said the recouped earnings helped the administration to achieve notable feats in critical sectors such as the Aviation and Railway sub-sectors respectively.
He said: “From a production level of a paltry 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day as at January 2009, the relative peace that now prevails in the Niger Delta has aided the remarkable growth of Nigeria’s oil production to between 2.6 and 2.7 million barrels per day as at today”.
