Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson, has maintained that the state government cannot pay its workers full salaries because of dwindling revenue. The governor stated this during a meeting with members of the Bayelsa Elders Forum in Yenagoa, a statement from the state’s Ministry of Information and Orientation, indicated on Saturday. Dickson urged the elders to prevail on the civil servants from their different localities to accept the ongoing payment pattern. The government had been paying workers in the state 50 per cent salaries since February 2016. The statement quoted the governor as saying, “In the area of public service, I appeal to the elders to be part of the discussions by engaging civil servants from their localities to accept the ongoing payment pattern as government at this point cannot pay full salaries. “Some of the major challenges our government is facing is dwindling revenue and security. We call for collaboration to ensure law and order in all the local government areas in the state.” Also, Dickson paid glowing tribute to elders and founding fathers of the state who fought and persistently agitated for the creation of Bayelsa in 1996. Noting that the state was not where it should be, he nevertheless said it was not where it used to be. Meanwhile, the state government has said activities of the militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, shrank the state’s revenue. The government said during a monthly transparency briefing in Yenagoa on Friday that the group’s activities had reduced the oil revenue accruable to the state from N3bn in July, 2016 to N1bn in August, 2016. The Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Rear Admiral John Jonah (retd.), declared a deficit of N1.9bn during the briefing. Jonah, who announced a gross inflow of N8.7bn, said N1.4bn was spent on bank loans, N2.1bn on civil servants’ salaries and capital payment of N3.2bn. He said the recurrent payment was N1.4bn, while that of political appointees salaries gulped N472m, bringing the total outflow to N8.9bn.

SamuelAnyawu: States get 13% calculated based on produced mineral resources from their area so reduced production means reduced accrued revenue. "What sense is there to damage a gas line as a result of which many towns in the country including their own town or village is put in darkness as a result? What logic is there in blowing up an export pipeline and as a result income to your state and local governments and consequently their ability to provide services to your own people is reduced?" - PMB 9 Likes 1 Share |

SamuelAnyawu: Compare that to other states like Kano with 44 local govt and population of over 10million, without 13% derivation; yet the state is still paying its workers their full salaries - what a failure in leadership, robbing their own ppl blind and pointing at others. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Can our dear mother and philanthropist Patience Mama Piss kindly borrow the Bayelsa State government few millions out of the $31 million dollars in her accounts in Skye Bank? She can keep the remaining billions she has in other banks in Nigeria and abroad. We shall all be very very grateful Thank you our mother in Christ, Mama Piss for coming to our aid.

Dickson and so many other incompetent wicked governors are the major reason why I say immunity should be removed from governors.. How can many cope with an incompetent fool like this and he can't be either impeached or taken to court by the masses.. Our governors are one of our major problems.. |
