MARKING THE 20th ANNIVERSARY OF BAYELSA STATE
PRESS BRIEFING BY THE HONORABLE COMMISSIONER FOR INFORMATION AND
ORIENTATION ON THE ACTIVITIES MARKING THE 20th ANNIVERSARY OF BAYELSA
STATE. Gentlemen of the press, I am extremely delighted to have
you here as I formally roll out activities lined up to commemorate the
20th anniversary of Bayelsa State.
Like you are aware, Bayelsa was created on October 1, 1996 from the old
Rivers State by the late former military ruler General Sani Abacha.
Since its creation, the state has been governed by military and civilian
leaders.
From what many people termed a glorified local government headquarters,
Yenagoa the city centre has massively transformed into an emerging
economic and social hub. In the same vein, development is spreading
fast to other areas.
Despite the numerous challenges that has bedevilled it since creation,
the state has remained peaceful with an enviable record of no reported
case of ethnic or religious crisis.
Today, we can also boast of producing a president with remarkable
achievement trailing his stay in office. This is in addition to other
lofty achievements recorded by proud sons and daughters of the state in
various spheres.
By sheer commitment, unity of purpose and sense of patriotism, we have
remained together and I believe we are willing to continue as one state
and people despite various provocation aimed at threatening or
undermining our existence.
After a careful retrospect of the last 20 years, the Government of His
Excellency, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson has thought it necessary to put
together a low budget programme to mark the 20 years milestone. Let me
emphasis that the anniversary is of a low budget. I am making the
emphasis because I know it is going to be another point for enemies of
the state to shamelessly attack this government.
The schedule for the anniversary is as follows:
September 25th
The Special 20th Anniversary Interdenominational Thanksgiving Service
which was done a forthnight ago at the Gabriel Okara Cultural Centre to
kick of the Anniversary.
September 30th
Special 20th Anniversary TV Documentary
October 1st
A. Special 20th Anniversary Morning Broadcast (TV/Radio)
B. Interaction with Secondary School Students
C. Command Performance/Dinner
(1). Photo Exhibition
(2). Presentation of Books
i. The Art of Delivery – Volume 1 (By His Excellency Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson)
ii. The Power Of Delivery – Volume 2 (By His Excellency Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson)
iii. Unique Strides Of Delivery- Volume 3 (By His Excellency Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson)
iv. Restoration Unveiled (Campaign Speeches 2012)
v. Ofuruma Pepe: The Return of the Great White Shark (Campaign Speeches 2012)
October 2nd
The anniversary will formally be rounded off with a variety night as
well as music/comedy show at the Gabriel Okara Cultural Center by 7pm.
These are the programme of events for the anniversary. We will not fail to get across to you should there be any adjustment.
Thank you for your time.
