The Interim Administrator, Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Col. Milland Dixon Dikio (rtd), has challenged youths in the Niger Delta to explore opportunities in the palm oil business, describing it as the first economic mainstay of the region.

Dikio, while recalling that the region was initially and historically notable for the palm oil business, said the product was still selling more than oil and gas globally.

He said this in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, at a workshop organized by a group of ex-agitators working for the sustained peace with the theme, ‘Niger Delta, a New Market to Explore’.

Speaking to over 50 youth groups that attended the workshop; Dikio urged them to create the Niger Delta of their dreams, insisting that building a better region was their sole responsibility.

Dikio further urged the youths to tap from the knowledge and skills of others by forming partnerships and leveraging on the experiences of mentors and role models.
