SAN FRANCISCO, August 26, (THEWILL) – The Presidential Amnesty Office has revealed that 22 beneficiaries of its foreign education programme, who were ex-militants, have graduated as Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and have returned to the country.

This was disclosed by the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh during a chat with the NAN in Abuja.

He revealed that the beneficiaries were trained at the Royal Jordanian Air Academy and were equipped with EASA licence on return, adding that without the licence, they would not be useful in the aviation industry.

Boroh, who doubles as the Coordinator of Presidential Amnesty Programme, said the licence made the beneficiaries certified aircraft maintenance professionals needed in modern airline operation.

“Worldwide aircraft maintenance business is enormous, and expanding with the passage of time,” Boroh said.

“Approximately 500, 000 passenger and cargo aircrafts are currently in service worldwide.

“Moreover, about four million smaller private aircrafts are being used for business or pleasure.
Thus, aviation is an ever-expanding field with modernization of equipment on new aircraft.

“Therefore, the requirements of aircraft engineers and aircraft mechanics to work on a permanent basis as an employee of an airline will always rise with ever increasing expansion of aviation industry.”

Isn’t it amazing? From militancy to Aircraft Engineer!
