I Want To Turn Bayelsa To Dubai..Gov Dickson

Bayelsa State Gover,Governor Seriaki Dickson said he is in a hurry to turn the State into another Dubai.

This was his unedited statement.

“I am in a hurry to see this place become the Dubai of Africa, and that is why we are working so hard. Very soon, you will see us unfold our tourism city masterplan. And very soon you too will see tourists and investors rushing into Bayelsa as they are already doing now. You will agree with me that we need companies and industries to come in and employ our numerous graduates. That also explains why we are making the kind of investment to build the needed capacity in our youths.

You have seen improvement in security.You asked why Julius Berger and all these companies, It’s not just Berger. All major construction companies in Nigeria have a presence here. A lot more are even coming, I have also succeeded within this short period to create an enabling, secure environment. We need to sustain that and do more, because investors will only come in if our state is secured.

I therefore enjoin all Bayelsans, to cooperate with your Government, don't be part of anything that will portray Bayelsa in a bad way, report all suspicious activities to the state security outfit and always put us in your prayers.’
