The Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Henry
Seriake Dickson, has explained his choice of appointing Chief David Serena
Dokubo-Spiff as Secretary to the State Government, and Mr. Duate Iyabi as Chief Economic Adviser,
promising they will deliver, reports ITRealms.
Describing Dokubo-Spiff as a
technocrat, Dickson said the choice of the SSG was informed by his wealth of
experience as a legal practitioner and administrative acumen, "which are
critical to his new role as the one to pilot the bureaucratic machinery and the
secretariat of government."
The Chief Press Secretary to Gov.
Dickson, Mr. Daniel Markson-Iworiso informed ITRealms, Wednesday at the inauguration
of Dokubo-Spiff as SSG and Chief Economic Adviser, Mr. Duate Iyabi,
at the Executive Council Chambers, Government Houses in Yenagoa, quoted the
governor as saying that both men have a track record of service and equally
understand the direction and foundation of the new administration.
Dickson who showered encomiums on
the new SSG, expressed confidence in the abilities and sense of judgement of
Dokubo-Spiff, stressing that, as the engine room of the administration, the
entire bureaucracy of the state will look up to him for direction and service.
"As a man who understands the
issues of development of the state and as former acting chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, you have the administrative
capability to steer the ship of the secretariat and bureaucracy of the state,
given your knowledge as a legal luminary,” he said.
Gov. Dickson also commended his
dedication to steer the course of the state at a very critical time.
As a passionate believer in the Ijaw
nation, your loyalty can never be faulted, coupled with your track record of
service and commitment to our collective aspiration as a people”.
Additionally, Dickson said Iyabi's
expertise is required more than ever before, especially at this time of
economic down-turn, to give quality advice to keep the economy of the state
afloat.
The governor expressed optimism that
he would use his position as chairman of the state economic team, to harness
and coordinate all investments of the state government, while also commending
him for managing the treasury transparently and efficiently during his tenure
as Commissioner of Finance.
