Gov. Diri Meets President Buhari Over Medical University, Road Projects

Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, on Wednesday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Governor Diri, who was accompanied to the meeting by his predecessor, Senator Seriake Dickson, former Military Governor of Rivers State and Amanyanabo of Twon Brass, King Alfred Diete-Spiff, and the Ibenanaowei of Ekpetiama, King Bubaraye Dakolo, sought the President’s intervention and the support of the Federal Government in addressing some critical infrastructural and developmental issues in the state.

A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, quoted the governor as saying that in pursuance of the President’s policy to establish six new federal universities of medical sciences and bio-medical technology in the country, the state was willing to hand-over the Bayelsa Medical University (BMU) to the federal government to cover the South-South region.

The governor noted that the medical institution was equipped with a 300-bed hospital and had all its programmes accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

The governor equally sought the support and collaboration of the federal government on the ongoing three senatorial road projects in the state. They include the Yenagoa-Angiama-Oporoma-Ukubie road in Bayelsa Central, the Sagbama-Ekeremor-Agge road (Bayelsa West) and the Yenagoa-Ogbia-Nembe-Brass road (Bayelsa East).

According to the governor, Bayelsa, being the most littoral and riverine state in Nigeria, grapples with very peculiar environmental challenges that place greater burden on the cost of infrastructure development.

“This notwithstanding, successive administrations have made spirited efforts to connect the state through massive investment in roads and bridges. Yet we have the least road coverage in the country, which makes most communities inaccessible by road.

“To take advantage of the Blue Economy, my administration has continued the construction of the three senatorial roads designed to terminate at the Atlantic Ocean.

“These roads, which are long-conceived federal projects that have suffered lack of attention, will provide enormous benefits to our communities and enable easy access to our nation’s oil and gas assets.”

The Bayelsa governor also solicited the President’s intervention to resolve the controversy surrounding the revoked Atala Marginal Oilfield (OML 46) licence, which is owned by the state government.

He explained that state government acquired the marginal field through the Bayelsa Oil Company Limited (BOCL) since 2003 but was surprised that in April 2020, a few weeks after he assumed office, the federal government through the defunct Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) revoked the licence.

Diri stated that the oilfield was reallocated to “a private company based on wrong information supplied to the relevant authorities.”

President Buhari, in his brief response, assured the delegation that he will urgently look into the requests and act on them.

Gov. Diri inspects on-going projects
.. as Works Commissioner briefs on Aguobiri, Oporoma bridges, Glorydrive

Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri today inspected some ongoing projects in the State.

The projects inspected were the Yenagoa-Oporoma-Ukubie road, a spur route linking to the Angiama community, the Glory drive road from the Ecumenical centre, and the Bayelsa Transport Terminal at Igbogene.

Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, ESV, Moses Teibowei, briefed newsmen on the level of work done at the Aguobiri and Oporoma link bridges.

"As somebody who knows construction, for this nature of work, for a bridge to be constructed, mobilization to the site is something very important and critical because of the equipment required. From the last time I visited here to date, I will say I am very much impressed and I strongly believe that now that they have mobilized fully to the site, we would be able to accomplish the bridge projects within the specified time frame.

The Aguobiri bridge by the end of September, we will start using it.

For the bridge linking to Oporoma, we give ourselves 2-years to be able to complete it. While that is going on, we also commence work in linking up Oporoma so that when the bridge is through we are sure that we will be able to drive to Oporoma."

To the surprise and excitement of the Governor, he met His Excellency, Ambassador Boladei Igali, at the Angiama-Oporoma bridge construction site.

Ambassador Igali, who is from Southern Ijaw LGA, told the governor that he had come to appreciate the level of job done so far and thanked the governor for prioritizing the project.

Government functionaries who accompanied the Governor on the inspection were the State Chairman of the PDP, Chief Solomon Agwuana, Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy, Hon. Ayiba Duba and other government officials.

Speaker, Bayelsa state House of Assembly, (High Chief) Abraham INGOBERE over the legacies he stills keeping while he presided over the affairs of the state his country home and brass Constituency lll.

Comr. Edo Egberike gave the commendation while speaking at a condolences visit in honour of the late Elder Harvest of Bekekiri (UAC) Akassa, Saturday at his resident in akenfa3 Slaughter street Yenagoa.
Comr. Egberike, a current Director of Bayelsa voice tv, described Mr Speaker as a leader who led by example and also set examples for his successors.

He listed some of the legacies leading by Mr Speaker to include winning in the 2015 election and setting up primary and secondary schools in his Constituency part of the State.
“You were who you were and I was who I was in my party but with your leading legacies, there is no successor that can afford to do less.
“You are an example of a leader who left something behind which has become the minimum standard now and I am sure that in 2023 that will also play out,“ he said.
Comr. Edo also praised Mr Speaker for setting primary and secondary schools which were meant to take the Nigerian child of school age from the street.

“You appropriated several funds in addition to the funds that were there for the Universal Basic Education (UBE) to reinforce that, so that there shall be no child roaming the field.” amongs are: Road network in the Clan, Free medical insurance scheme, scholarship for primary and secondary School, free JAMB enrollment etc.
He said Mr Speaker had demonstrated that Bayelsa state Nigeria did not lack ideas but the will to transform them into practice.

He expressed appreciation to Mr Speaker for finding time to honor their attention.
He prayed for INGOBERE that his good works would continue to be remembered.
In his speech, at the condolences visit, Mr Speaker advised the good people of Akassa brass LGA and Bayelsa state at Large, Nigerians to be circumspect in exercising their voting rights in the 2023 general elections.
He said that 2023 should be seen as an avenue to elect the kind of leadership Nigeria deserved now and in the future to assume its rightful place among the comity of nations.
“Ahead of the 2023 elections, we are getting ready to be wooed and wowed at campaign grounds by various politicians seeking different offices.

“But these thoughts are beyond 2023. It is about Nigeria and the kind of leadership it deserves now and in the future to ensure that our state and country assumes its rightful place among the comity of nations.
“My charge to Bayelsa state Nigerians is to be circumspect in the exercise of their voting rights.
“We must shift away from the politics of bread and butter and ensure that we do not elect leaders that will buy our conscience today and mortgage the future of our children and grandchildren.

“We should endeavour to elect only those that will leave legacies of unity, peace and development,” Mr Speaker said.
The Speaker in his keynote titled ‘Lasting Legacy: Key to Akassa people, Bayelsa and Nigeria at large Development Issues’, said that in spite of all Nigerians is going through, he did not believe that they should lose hope.

Mr Speaker said that every political cycle provided Nigerians with the ample opportunity to take decisions that would help them renew their hope, restore what had been lost and rebuild the country.
He advised political leaders at all levels to deliberately make the necessary sacrifices that promote patriotism, inspire devotion and spur citizens to do their best for their country.
He also charged political leaders to be concerned about the depth of their footprints and the kind of legacies they are leaving behind.

“Those who also lead at various capacities in politics and business, be they councillors, council chairpersons, governors, lawmakers at both state and national levels as well as boardroom gurus, should be bothered about the value of their leadership style.
“The essence of leadership is to drive initiatives that seek to build sustainable societies and make the lives of the people better and more meaningful.
“Every political leader should, in a moment of introspection, spare a thought for the legacy he or she would leave behind.

“Will you be remembered as a deceitful leader, an ethnic bigot, religious fanatic or a nation builder that would leave lasting legacies for the people,” Mr Speaker said.
He said that anybody aspiring to public office should first articulate his own vision and philosophy of leadership.
He said that leadership did not necessarily refer only to a political office, it encompassed the kind of guidance people were given at every position of responsibility.

“I always emphasise that the seed of leadership should be sown in the family from which it grows to guide the society.
“Good leadership at homes, schools, communities, traditional institutions, as well as worship places will give birth to legacies that would serve as a source of pride and benefit to the rest of society.”
