The Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, has promised that his administration would ensure to provide more peace and development for Bayelsans in this new year.
The Chief Executive of the state gave the assurance while giving his New Year message to the people of the State. He said Government would keep faith with its commitment to further consolidate on its programmes and projects, as most of them would be inaugurated this year as part of activities to commemorate his 2 years in office on the 14th of February, this year.
The Governor, who addressed the people of the State on radio and television, expressed hope that this year will bring about the much needed development given the substantial investments that have been made to enhance security,
education, infrastructure and manpower development.
Others include: promotion of good governance, diversification of the economy through tourism and agriculture, health, power generation, sports development, judiciary and health.
He stated that by the time these projects are completed, they will stand as a lasting legacy of his administration for the present and future generation of Bayelsans.
The governor furthermore urged the people of the state to be grateful to God for His mercies and abundant blessings and be prayerful that the New Year will be better than the previous one.
He also enjoined the people of the State to demonstrate the virtues of love in all they do, think and say, to promote peaceful and harmonious co-existence in the state.
