The Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari
for disclosing the economic status of the country.
Dickson urged Bayelsa people to brace up to the harsh financial
situation facing the state.
He spoke at a meeting with the new Special Advisers at the
Government House, Yenagoa, a statement by his Chief Press
Secretary, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said on Thursday.
The governor said the way out of the present economic doldrums was diversification from oil and gas sector of the economy.
Dickson said, “Already, you are all aware of the statement by the
President that our country is in a very dire financial situation.That comment has attracted a lot of
criticisms, but I agree with the President that Nigerians are
entitled to know the true state of the economy.
“Investors who want to do business in Nigeria are entitled
to know the true state of our economy. Let me use this opportunity to call on all Bayelsans to listen to what the President has said that the entire country is broke.
“He has made us to understand that the financial situation that we are managing is a national
phenomenon. It is not peculiar to Bayelsa.
“For the allocation of last month, the Federation Account Allocation Committee could not meet until
the past month because they didn’t have money to share to the states and even when they met for the first time since I took
over as governor, states have started getting zero allocation.
“I don’t know why people are blaming the President for saying that our country is broke,
because that is the truth about the economy. States can’t pay salaries; we can’t meet our basic
responsibilities. I can’t pay allowances to myself and my staff.
“However, even in the midst of that, we are managing to pay
salaries. Even in this terrible month, we’ve directed that by
Monday salaries of workers should be paid.”
He charged his appointees to bring their wealth of experience to bear in the present
administration’s efforts to consolidate on its achievements.
According to him, the new aides were coming into government at a crucial moment of election and, therefore, urged them to join forces with other critical
stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party to mobilise
support for the party in the forthcoming election.
