Douye Diri, the governor of Bayelsa State, has dissolved the state executive council following his inauguration for a second term.
The governor stated this during his acceptance address on Wednesday at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenogoa, the state capital.
Diri praised the political appointees for their efforts and hard work during the last four years, promising to pursue a 10-year comprehensive economic plan for the state's development.
The governor highlighted his administration's successes in several economic sectors during his first term.
Governor Diri announced that his second term would be focused on improving the state's citizens' lack of access to potable water.
“With this vision in mind, we have developed a comprehensive and ambitious 10-year economic plan for the state. This plan outlines our strategies and initiatives to diversify and strengthen our economy, create jobs, attract investments, and improve the standard of living for all Bayelsans.
“To kick-start the implementation of this economic plan and to engage stakeholders, we are excited to announce the upcoming Bayelsa State Economic Development Summit in Yenagoa, the state capital. This summit will serve as a platform for sharing ideas, discussing opportunities, and forging partnerships to accelerate the economic growth of our state.
“We shall focus attention on areas with comparative advantage, including agriculture, rice, cassava and oil palm production, seeking new partnerships and investors along the way.
“In our second tenure, citizens of the state would have a more active and direct role in shaping and participating in the economy, stressing that “from small business owners and entrepreneurs to industry leaders and investors, everyone has a part to play in driving economic growth and prosperity.”
