The Commissioner for Information and Communications, AUSTIN TAM-GEORGE made the clarification while responding to questions during a security stakeholders meeting in Port Harcourt.
TAM-GEORGE also said the state government was yet to come up with a rehabilitation plan for the beneficiaries of the amnesty programme.
