 By Genesis ogiri 

Former Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and Special Adviser to the President on the Niger Delta, Brigadier-General Paul Boroh, honored with the Distinguished Fellowship Award by the Institute for Crisis Resolution, Peacebuilding, and Conciliation (ICRPC), recounted his distinguished service during peacekeeping missions in Sierra Leone and Liberia as he addressed participants at the prestigious ceremony held on Saturday at Abuja’s renowned Candellux Plaza.

Drawing from these experiences, Boroh explained how divine inspiration and personal devotion guided him in managing high-pressure situations and making critical decisions in the field. He noted that spiritual grounding, combined with professional discipline, was instrumental in achieving success in volatile environments.

He urged participants to embrace continuous learning as a foundation for professional growth, emphasizing that knowledge acquisition equips individuals to navigate complexity and seize opportunities in an increasingly challenging world.

Boroh also highlighted the importance of prayer and spiritual resilience, regardless of one’s religion, describing it as a key source of guidance and inner strength that complements personal effort and professional skill.

In addition to spiritual and intellectual development, Boroh charged citizens to acquire specific skills as tools to survive and thrive in the modern world. He stressed that technical competence, innovation, and adaptability are essential for personal advancement and societal contribution.

Dr. Boroh then transitioned to his leadership of Nigeria’s Presidential Amnesty Programme, a comprehensive initiative that has been credited with stabilising the volatile Niger Delta region through reintegration, empowerment, and peacebuilding strategies. Under his stewardship, the programme reported that almost all of the ex-agitators had been reintegrated, with significant strides made in empowerment and education.

"He highlighted that the programme’s success lay in its strategic, all-encompassing reintegration approach, asserting that such initiatives are key to converting conflict-affected regions into vibrant communities of opportunity, stability, and enduring peace."

Dr. Boroh commended the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for its proactive security reforms, including the reinforcement of forest guard systems. He emphasized that these measures are critical in combating terrorism and securing previously vulnerable forest regions from criminal exploitation.

He expressed optimism about the national security landscape, asserting that “the end to ongoing challenges is within reach as strategic conflict resolution and robust security measures continue across the country.” Boroh’s remarks highlighted the synergy between skill development, ethical leadership, and strategic governance.

The induction ceremony included formal presentation of the fellowship certificate and insignia, reflecting ICRPC’s rigorous standards in recognizing leaders who advance ethical governance, professional excellence, and societal impact.

Concluding the event, Ambassador Dr. Abdul Waheed Odewale, Institute Registrar, reaffirmed the Institute’s commitment to nurturing professionals whose contributions foster ethical leadership, professional growth, resilience, and transformative peacebuilding. The fellowship award to Gen. Paul Boroh cements his standing as a leading voice in Nigeria’s peace, security, and national development landscape.
