The Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson has been urged to only embark on people oriented projects.

This was contained in a five point communiqué issued at the forum, organised by the office of the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Research and Social Media, Wednesday at Hartford Hotel, Port Harcourt.

The communiqué stressed the need for government’s activities to be made known to the people for whom they were meant, adding that “the primary duties of government to the people should be carried out in an efficient and sincere manner.

“The activities of Gov Dickson should not only be on papers but should also be what people can see and feel.”

The statement called for creation of a forum for social media which fought and won the battle of change in Bayesla state.

Earlier, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor, on Research and Social Media, Hon. Idumange John, had said that the theme, “Social Media for Good Governance in Bayesla State,” was well articulated, as the forum seeks a sustainable media framework for good governance in the state.

Hon. Idumonge commended the social media networkers who he said fought for the change in the state, adding that there is also a great need for social media to seal the battle fought since eight months ago by acting as a watch dog to Gov. Dickson’s administration.

He recalled that Bayelsa state had suffered in the hands of bad leadership which necessitated the social media war for change in the state.

He applauded Gov. Dickson for being a saving grace for Bayelsa people whose past “economy was bleeding while individuals were busy building material wealth for themselves at the expense of the people.
