As part of the post amnesty programme, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) yesterday approved N179.13 billion for the execution of 44 projects in nine states in the Niger Delta region.
And contrary to a recent report that the United Nations (UN) will not be part of the amnesty deal for Niger Delta militants, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) yesterday, in a statement, said the global body was involved in the peace process initiated by the Federal Government.
