Association of Contractors/Vendors, Stake holders of Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has urged the Federal Government to probe the five billion naira allocated monthly to the programme from 2022 to 2024.
They said the Federal Government should order the agency to pay contractors owed for over two years.
It sent an open letter: “Mr. President, save our souls before its too late,” signed by Coordinator, Success Ebiere, yesterday, and addressed to President Bola Tinubu.
She said there is tension in the region due to neglect and refusal to pay benefits of Presidential Amnesty Programme.
The letter reads: “… Presently, there is tension in the region due to abandonment, neglect and denial of benefits to the people.
“For over two years, vendors and contractors have not been paid for jobs done.
“…We want you to consider the danger of non-payment to vendors and contractors, who interface between former militants and government…
“We appeal to Mr. President to save our souls. The suffering is too much to bear…’’
The association sought probe into tenures of past and present coordinators, particularly how five billion naira monthly allocation was spent.”
