Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has offered automatic employment to all PhD holders of the state origin, as well as those from other Ijaw-speaking states in the country, Igbere Tv reports.


The governor said beneficiaries of the offer included Ijaw from Ondo, Edo, Delta, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.


The state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said in a statement on Friday that Dickson made the announcement while inaugurating the Committee for the Employment of PhD holders across Ijaw land.


The move comes a few weeks after the governor made a similar gesture for all first-class graduates of the state origin. He said the PhD holders to be employed would be deployed in the various state-owned tertiary institutions, including the Niger Delta University, the University of Africa, the Bayelsa Medical University, the College of Education and the Bayelsa State Polytechnic.


According to Dickson, the PhD holders’ employment, including those in the Diaspora, is part of the ongoing efforts of the government to reposition the state’s education sector and make it more viable.


The statement said the committee was headed by the Secretary to the State Government, Kemela Okara, and that those interested could apply through the committee for immediate employment.

Ijaw people come forward.

Nice one

Nice gesture...

But what then will happen to the young ones with 2nd class and 3rd class degrees who are becoming a tool to be used by the devil due to unemployment and corruption in the economy?

The children of these elites don't need a PhD to secure a job in any government ministries but reverse is the case for a common man who's father is nobody..... Nigeria is a big mistake.!!

As drivers and gardeners

Lol!

















"So unfunny"

Okay

So PhD holders are jobless

This is craziness .. Is he just trying to score a cheap political point or what.
Cos there should be a need for a post, before you can employ.. Imagine the state having 500plus PhD holders and all are employed on 200k to do almost nothing.
I just dont even understand.. How can you say you are giving appointment to all PhD holders. No selection process nothing... Both mathematics PhD holders, PhD in Igbo language, PhD in performing arts etc.
Some MSC students and even bsc holders are even better than the PhD guys.
I am not hating thou..

nice development, what about those with master degree

What a comment.

A commendable one to Dickson. Right step in a right direction.

Good

Scam! Scam!! Scammer watch

I’m Ijaw and very close to having my Phd. Am I qualified?

Since he is doing ethnic based appointment, I think he should kuku complete the process by also advising the Ijaws especially those in Edo, Itsekiriland and Ondo to return to Bayelsa, since that is actually where the vast majority of them migrated out from before coming to settle in those other states..

Very commendable gesture.
But I will like to believe that Bayelsa state which he governs is entirely made of Ijaws. As he was elected and responsible to Bayelsa state in its entirety and not his Ijaw tribe.
