Ahead of his inaugu

Speaking with journalists in Yenagoa, Dickson  thanked Bayelsa voters, especially the youths and women for their belief and firm devotion to his aspiration during the election.
According to him, his second coming would be about the  future of the state, promising to consolidate in the area of security and development of the state.
The governor said despite the dwindling revenue accruing to the state, his government would still make efforts to serve the basic interest of the people by touching lives in the next four years.
He stressed that, his first term was used to lay the foundation for accelerated development of the state, assuring that  even with the low level of resources, the government would still be able to drive development by building on the efforts already recorded in his first term.

Dickson said as a way of redeeming his electoral pledge, the youths and women would be targeted in the next four years by embarking on community-driven agricultural initiatives and  entrepreneurship.
The governor emphasized his administration’s determination to industrialize the state and diversify the economic base of the State.
He said, “In the next four years, you are going to see greater investments in power generation and distribution, all tied to various projects, particularly the industrial park. We now want to make Bayelsa go into full production. We are also going to complete the airport and then work towards the development of the deep sea port with our partners.”
He also  promised to address the security situation in the state which he blamed on political incursion of undesirable elements ahead of the last election, stressing that, kidnapping and oil pipeline vandalism would soon be a thing of the past in the state.
