Four hundred and fifty-eight
beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme are currently

states, will last between six to nine months.
Beneficiaries are being trained in

Among them are 200 beneficiaries
who commenced nine-month training in transformer repairs and
maintenance July 3, 2019, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and are
expected to graduate April, next year.
A breakdown of the trade areas of
the 458 beneficiaries showed that 44 are training in installation and
maintenance of tricycles; 62 in tailoring and fashion design, 90 in
