Bayelsa State said rumour mongering is hindering the state’s development.

The Bayelsa State Government has concluded plans to set up a committee to address “the ugly trend of rumour-mongering in the state”.

The committee is to fish out actors behind rumour-mongering “which has been found inimical to the development of the state”.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Bayelsa State Governor, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, made the announcement in a statement on Saturday in Yenagoa.

Mr. Iworiso-Markson said that Gov. Seriake Dickson was worried by the “disturbing trend of rumour-mongering in the state.”

“Gov. Dickson has decided to set up a high-powered committee to address the ugly trend of rumour-mongering in the state.

“A situation whereby the person and office of the governor are always at the receiving end of rumour-mongering is quite disturbing to the government,” Mr. Iworiso-Markson said.

According to the statement, the committee which will be inaugurated next week, will be tasked with the responsibility of finding a permanent solution to rumour-mongering in the state.

He said that the committee would be saddled with the responsibility of fishing out persons who made it a habit to peddle rumours and spread false and misleading information to the public.

Which kind of nonsense is this?
This is joblessness at its height.
Majority of this Niger-deltans are indeed clueless.

Moronarchy and Dumbo-cracy reigns in Bayelsa, where each successive administration inherits the stupidity of the previous administration and increases it! The state is plunging further into the shameful abyss of mediocrity and hopelessness with those fedora-hat wearing and committee-loving creeps in-charge!

High-powered committee to address rumour mongering LWKMD

Rather than further exposing his cluelessness, the government should be informed that transparent information dissemination is the antidote to rumour mongering!

Bayelsa state has gone to the dogs

I thought this committee was already in place, following the outing of certain rumour-peddlers back in November of last year.
The wheels of government do turn very slowly in Bayelsa, I tell you

Bayelsa governor disciplines civil servants for ‘Rumour mongering’, ‘making careless statements’, other offenses


by Isi Esene

It was suspension galore in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, as governor Seriake Dickson disciplined some civil servants for various offences.

Dickson, on Monday, suspended Akpoebi Ifidi, a civil servant in charge of the Banquet Hall, Government House, Yenagoa for spreading “false rumour” about his administration.

He also announced the suspension of John Apah, Ransom Temeya, and Couple Ingibina for other offences including abuse of office.

The governor took the action during his maiden interaction with civil servants at the Glory Land Cultural Centre, Yenagoa. He went on to warn the civil servants to steer clear of partisan politics.

Dickson accused Apah, who was the former Secretary to the state Environmental Sanitation Authority, of abuse of office by engaging in employment racketing. He had allegedly offered-graduate level jobs to cronies without following the rules regulating recruitment in the civil service.

Ingibina, a surveyor in the Capital City Development Authority, was reportedly indicted for indiscriminate allocations of land in Yenagoa without recourse to the city’s master plan.

According to governor, Temeya was suspended for “making careless statements about the government.”

Reminding the civil servants of their constitutional duties, the governor said, “We can no longer continue to tolerate careless statements. We cannot be opposition to the government. You are meant to be seen and not heard.”

He said a committee had been established to conduct secret investigations into the activities of civil servants in the state with a view to identifying those engaging in politics and business.

True Talk! The slow-on-the-uptake leaders we have do not know that the only way to eliminate the perception of corruption and bad governance is by allowing for a more open society, where people can have free access to information, government data and understand how their resources are being apportioned! But not in Nigeria where leaders are thieves and followers are mindless sheep
