The Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Henry
Seriake Dickson has said that the verification exercise carried out on workers in
the oil-state, has started yielding the desired results and promised to block
loopholes for fraud, reports ITRealms.
Dickson disclosed that preliminary
reports turned in by the state verification team have identified some loopholes
through which payroll criminals defrauded the state, expressing optimism that the
process would save resources for the development of the state.
The Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, in a press statement available to ITRealms quoted Gov. Dickson as saying this during the March edition of the state
Monthly Praise Night held at the King of Glory Chapel, Government House, Yenagoa.
As said by Dickson, the on-going
exercise would also help government in addressing the ghost workers syndrome to
employ more young people into the state civil service.
He said that the exercise was being
was being carried out in the best interest of the state.
Dickson advised Bayelsans especially
workers to show greater understanding and cooperation to enable government win
the fight against payroll fraud and other corrupt practices.
He restated his call on people of
the state to steer clear from all crimes particularly kidnapping stressing that
the present administration would soon launch a major crackdown on issues
threatening the continued peace and stability of the state.
While expressing gratitude to
Bayelsans and the church for their prayers and support, Dickson assured the
womenfolk of more dividends of democracy particularly in terms of appointments
and economic empowerment schemes.
Drawing the text of his sermon from
the Book of Proverbs 18 verses 20 and 21, Chaplain of the king of Glory Chapel,
Government House, Bishop Dotimi Egbegi highlighted the power of the tongue.
Egbegi therefore enjoined the
congregation to always make positive pronouncements about themselves, their
families and the state irrespective of life’s challenges.
