The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, Chief Dr. Dennis Otuaro, has charged Niger Delta youths to uphold the ideals of the "Ijaw hero and icon of the Ijaw struggle", Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro, whose vision helped in the establishment of the PAP.

Dr. Otuaro gave the charge in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr Igoniko Oduma, while he paid glowing tributes to the late icon on Thursday, May 16, 2024.

The PAP Boss who described Boro "as a courageous Ijaw freedom fighter who lived a selfless life and promoted the ideals of an egalitarian society," said the late icon "was being remembered for his vision [and] amazing intentions to ensure better standard of living for the ijaw people."

While he urged the youths to celebrate the commemoration of the late icon responsibly, Dr. Otuaro also reminded them that "Boro believed in the unity, progress and development of Nigeria where equity and justice would reign, saying it was for this reason he fought to keep Nigeria as one indivisible nation."

According to him, "the commemoration of Boro Day is one of the significant ways of celebrating Boro's legacy of community service and mutual co-existence."

Dr. Otuaro further noted that "the establishment of the Presidential Amnesty Programme was a response to the agitation by Niger Delta youths whose advocacies were anchored on Boro's school of thought and principles."
