GOV DICKSON’S BIRTHDAY TO BE LOW KEYED, STOPS CONGRATULATORY MESSAGES, OTHERS

Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson will be a year older on the 28 th of this month.

But, in keeping with his administration’s policy of prudent management of the scarce resources of the State, Governor Dickson says, activities marking his birthday would be made as low key as possible, as he plans to go to Church in company of his immediate family members to appreciate the goodness of God in his life.

To this end, top Government functionaries at Federal, State and Local Government levels have been urged to avoid the popular practice of sending congratulatory messages to the Governor in the print, electronic and the social media. Similarly, development partners of the State, contractors, personal friends of the Governor as well as friends of the State and organs of Government have been directed to avoid sending messages in which ever form to commemorate the Governor’s birthday anniversary.

A Government House statement rather called on individuals and groups with such plans to donate such funds to charity and other areas that will improve the living standard of Bayelsans.

The statement expressed satisfaction with immeasurable support the administration has had in its efforts at ensuring physical development of the citizenry and the infrastructure of the State, stressing that, it will remain eternally grateful to all and sundry for keeping faith with the restoration agenda of Government.

The statement further called on Bayelsans to remain steadfast in their belief and support for the administration, which has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to move the State to greater heights in all its ramifications.
