Dickson Advocates Team Work Among Political Appointees
Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson has sworn-in a new Commissioner for Science, Technology and Manpower Development, with a call on members of the State executive council and political appointees to work as good team players as well as render quality service to the government and people of the State.
The new commissioner, Mr. Parkinson Macmanuel, was until his new position, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Secondary Education and replaces Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack, who has since been deployed to Government House as Chief of Staff.
The Governor also urged political appointees not to engage in unnecessary bickering and acts that are capable of distracting Government in its desire to fully deliver on its restoration agenda to the people.
Governor Dickson who expressed confidence in the ability of Mr. Macmanuel to deliver on his mandate, noted that there are still a lot of challenges ahead within government generally and the ministry of Science Technology and Manpower Development and stressed the need for him to rise up to the challenges.
Dickson said, “You are joining us at a time the restoration train has moved for about a year and half. A lot is happening but a lot still lies to be unfolded. As you have joined us, we expect the highest possible loyalty, hard work and selfless dedication to the assignments, formal and informal that will be assigned to you.”
The Governor.further urged him to urgently liaise with the former commissioner in charge of the Ministry and the Permanent Secretary for adequate briefings to enable him swing into action as well as unfold the various programmes designed to better the lot of Bayelsans.
He also reminded all appointees to be focused on the task of developing the State in the meantime, instead of dissipating their energies on politicking as it was not yet time for politics, he remarked.
“For us, this is no time for politics, so Hon. Commissioner this is no time for you to play politics. You are not appointed to play politics.
