Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dennis Otuaro, has commended President Bola Tinubu for providing competent leadership at the just-concluded 11th session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission hosted in Cape Town, South Africa.
Otuaro noted that Tinubu’s effective leadership provided clear directions for the active participation of the Nigerian delegation at the bilateral meeting, which he co-chaired with his South African counterpart, President Cyril Ramaphosa.
He said the president as head of the Nigerian delegation, demonstrated capacity and unwavering commitment to working closely with Ramaphosa to deepen and sustain the two nations bilateral relations and strategic cooperation within the ambit of the commission.
Otuaro, who led a PAP team to the 11th session of the bi-national commission, expressed optimism that the bilateral talks and negotiations culminating in the harmonised memorandum of understanding to be signed by Nigeria and South Africa, will be mutually beneficial to both nations in diverse areas of economic and political interests.

A statement issued on Thursday by the special assistant media to the PAP administrator, Igoniko Oduma, Otuaro, specifically, thanked Tinubu for accommodating the PAP in some aspects of the official agreement, noting that this development would further streamline the framework for the implementation of the training of the Niger Delta youths, especially in the areas of education and commercial aviation.
He described it as a huge boost to the implementation of the PAP’s objectives, stressing that it will enhance the programme’s initiatives for sustainable peace, security, stability, socio-economic growth and development in the region under the president’s renewed hope agenda.
The PAP helmsman further stated that the president’s gesture was a reflection of his strong support for the programme and his profound love for the people of the Niger Delta.
