The immediate past coordinator of the Niger Delta Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Professor Charles Quaker Dokubo, has passed on.

Dokubo died at the age of 70, after a brief illness, Wednesday.

It would be recalled that Dokubo and his predecessor, Brig-General Paul Boroh (Rtd) were accused of massive looting and misappropriation of public funds up to the tune of about N712 billion by successive Coordinators of the programme.

The findings of the report which covers about nine years ago following the amnesty deal for restive youths in the Niger Delta brokered in 2009 during late President Musa Yar’Adua’s administration, revealed alleged contract fraud, compromised database with illegal swapping of names of beneficiaries resulting in an over-bloated number of beneficiaries of the programme over- time, among other forms of fraudulent practices.

On Agust 27, 2020, President Mummadu Buhari ordered Dokubo’s sack.

Charles Quaker Dokubo, was born in Abonnema, Akuku Toru Local government of Rivers state on the 23rd of March 1952. His primary and Secondary School education were all in Abonnema. He proceeded to the United Kingdom on the 13th of September, where he did his ‘A’ levels at Huddersfield Technical College in West Yorkshire. From 1978-1980, Dokubo was admitted to the University of Teesside at Middlesbrough, where he undertook a course in modern History and politics and was awarded a BA[Hons.].

At the University of Bradford. He completed his Masters Degree in Peace Studies, before continuing his doctoral degree in Nuclear Weapon Proliferation and its control. In 1985, he was awarded his doctoral degree in the same University of Bradford. He was later appointed a temporary lecturer in the department before proceeding to Nigeria in 1993.
