Governor Diri Rejoices With Bayelsa Head of Service, Onyema, Over Knighthood.

Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has on behalf of the Government and good people of the state, congratulated the Bayelsa Head of Service, Dame Biobelemoye Charles-Onyema on her investiture as a Knight of Blessed Virgin Mary.

Speaking at a reception shortly after the investiture service at St Peter's Deanery, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, in Yenagoa on Sunday, the Governor described her recognition by the Church as worthy and appropriate.

Governor Diri, who was represented by his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo at the event, which held at the New Commissioners' Quarters, Opolo, said his administration was proud of the contributions being made by the head of service to the governance of the state.

Describing the civil service as the engine room and theatre for implementation of government's policies and programmes, he particularly attributed the harmonious working relationship between workers and government to Dame Charles-Onyema's levelheadedness and commitment to duty.

While commending the Bishop of Niger Delta Diocese, His Lordship, Dr Emmanuel Oko-Jaja and the entire Council of Anglican Knights for honouring the Head of Service, Governor Diri called on the body of Christ to remain united.

He also enjoined the celebrants and other honorees to put in more efforts in the service of God and humanity.

Responding, the state Head of Service, Dame Biobelemoye Charles-Onyema, expressed gratitude to the Governor, his deputy and all who came around to rejoice with her on the occasion of her knighthood investiture.

She noted that contrary to the erroneous belief held by some youngsters, the old generation churches including the Catholic and Anglican Church are endowed with pentecostal grace to prepare humanity for eternity.

Those who graced the reception included commissioners, permanent secretaries and other top government functionaries.
