The Presidential Amnesty Office has said that it has paid the N65,000 stipends for the month of March to its beneficiaries.
The office said in a statement the stipends were paid to all the beneficiaries through their listed bank accounts within last week.
The PAP stated that it has become necessary to provide this explanation in view of calls from delegates, inundating the office of non payment or delay in the payment of the stipends.
The office explained that the apparent delay in receiving the credit alert for the payment for the month of March might not be unconnected with glitches associated with some of the banks.
It noted that the fact that so many delegates have received the stipends is a clear testament to the fact that the stipends have been paid.
It stressed further that it is the standard practice of the PAP to ensure that all such monies are paid to all delegates at the same time.
The statement called on the beneficiaries and stakeholders to exercise patience as the affected financial institutions are dealing with these unforeseen developments.
The management noted that the office under the leadership of Dr Dennis Otuaro, would do all to ensure prompt payment of stipends to beneficiaries.
The statement assured that stipends of beneficiaries are not delayed even as the management counts on all delegates and stakeholders for support.
