Gov. Dickson receiving the Daily Independent Newspaper Man of the Year Award

Bayelsa State Governor, Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson, has attributed the successes of his administration in infrastructure development of the state to his passion and the commitment of his team.

Governor Dickson, who spoke to journalists in Lagos after receiving the Daily Independent Newspapers Man of the Year Award on Thursday night, said public office is only a platform for service.

His Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, quoted the governor as saying that his Restoration Administration has succeeded in making a very clear and positive difference in the state and that the people will see more changes before his tenure runs out.

He commended the organisers of the award for finding him worthy to be honoured and dedicated it to the people of Bayelsa State and members of his team.

Asked how he was able to embark on what has been described as unparalleled infrastructure development of Bayelsa State, which included building an international airport, the 80-kilometre road to Ekeremor that had been on the drawing board for more than four decades as well as other big ticket projects, he said: "It is a question of commitment. Above all, it had to do with the passion of my team and I.

"Now we are consolidating and our people will see more changes. What is important is for people to know that public office is a platform for service. I think we have demonstrated that in all facets of governance of the state.

"These awards are coming because of our genuine commitment to service. We have been able to make very clear and positive difference. The Bayelsa story has changed for good because of this commitment."

This is the second time the governor is being decorated this January coming on the heels of the Daily Asset Newspaper Governor of the Year Award on Tuesday. On January 26, the Bayelsa helmsman will also be honoured by The Sun Newspapers with the Outstanding Politician of the Year Award at a ceremony in Lagos.

Bayelsa Govt. seals off Agip facility

The Bayelsa State government has sealed the premises of Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) Oil and Gas facility, in Egbebiri, a Biseni Community in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. The Chairman of Bayelsa State Physical Planning and Development Board, Hon. Ebi Waribigha, said the sealing of the facility followed an eviction order issued by the State Physical Planning and Development Tribunal in Yenagoa.

The facility was reportedly built without a building permit as required by the Bayelsa State Physical Planning and Development Law (2015). The court had also directed the Commissioner of Police, the Commander of the Joint Task Force (JTF) and all security agencies to facilitate the enforc...

SYLVA, A DESPERATE POLITICIAN UNDER THREAT FROM HIS CONSCIENCE - DICKSON

...SAY HE RUNS WHEN NOBODY PURSUES HIM The Bayelsa State Governor, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson, on Wednesday described former Governor Timipre Sylva as an unpopular and desperate politician whose conscience remains his greatest threat. Dickson said in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media Relations, Mr. FIdelis Soriwei, that Sylva cuts the gnawing image of a troubled man screaming and fleeing at the sight of nobody. Dickson was reacting to a claim by Sylva that the governor was behind a plot to pitch the Chief òf Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari, against him through orchestrated media reports. Soriwei said that Governor Dickson is too involved and indeed occupied with the execution of the mandate the Bayelsa people gave to him, to be distracted by the hallucinations of a politician whose lifeline in politics was the state òf the mood of his political masters. The Governor’s media Aide said that it was queer and absurd that Sylva did not point to any p...
