PEOPLE

The PEAP (People, Education, Agriculture, Power) Agenda is a well-articulated list or outline of things to be done to enable us take Bayelsa state from its current state to a more virile and productive state.
The Agenda outlines a deliberate course of action that is tailored as follows
The First "P" represents THE PEOPLE
This is a deliberate policy of engaging the people and making them part of governance. 

The People will participate in the government and would be inclusive in the decision making and running of the government. The Engagement of people will bring Renewed Health Care, Housing, Welfare, Water and Sanitation. 

People are a veritable part of economy and Job creation. We have realized that an average Bayelsan is not lazy. We are very strong, energetic, and willing to work. We will engage with the People, make them understand the direction and the vision, find out their needs, work with them to procure solutions, revive their moral statehood and patriotism. We shall operate a participatory leadership. These engagements would help us identify core areas where we can create jobs that will stimulate the economy.

We will together with the people ensure that Healthcare is professionally delivered and made easily accessible. Modern medical equipment shall be provided in our hospitals and medical facilities.
Training and re-training of health workers shall be a priority. Bayelsa has a total of about 28 health centers across the whole state which is not enough.

Our Government shall build and equip more health centers across the state. We shall revive and strengthen the Bayelsa Health Insurance Scheme to accommodate students and those in the informal sector.
Decent, healthy, and affordable Housing and Accommodation would be made available. We shall make deliberate efforts to commence the new Yenagoa city development plan to attract development to other areas of the state capital and decentralize the Yenagoa metropolis.

We shall build the Brass Atlantic City as well as develop the Sagbama, Ogbia, Oporoma and Ekeremor towns in order for us to have alternative cities deliberately built with modern facilities like security, malls, recreation, etc. Water and Sanitation would be provided in consonance with health principles and environmentally friendly standards.
People especially the youth participation in governance shall be paramount in our government, as not less than 50% of political appointees shall be men and women of 45 years and below.
Security of our People shall be paramount as security is the primary responsibility of government. Our government shall ensure the security of lives and property in Bayelsa State. Our number one strategy for reducing insecurity shall be wealth creation and provision of jobs for our teeming population. We shall work closely with security agencies in collaboration with community executives to enhance security in Bayelsa State.

We shall strengthen our criminal justice system to ensure that offenders are adequately and promptly punished. Beyond punishment of offenders for crime, we shall adopt policies and programmes to promote peace, unity and good behaviour so as to reduce the incidents of crime.

We shall equally invest in modern security technologies, artificial intelligence, and facilities to enhance surveillance, criminal detection, security alarms and easy identification. “We shall as a state Policy ensure that every home and business in the metropolis install security cameras that will be connected to the central control unit.”

We shall review the Bayelsa volunteer programme as well as and other neighborhood watch programmes providing training in modern ways of surveillance to ensure effective surveillance of the entire state.

We shall introduce the Bayelsa coastal guards to combat illegal activities around our waterways and other blue economy related crimes.
Our government would commit itself to deliberately allocating resources in our first six months into the streets for the delivery of simple environment and aesthetics related services (Quick Wins Projects) by the average youths in each of the 8 local governments in Bayelsa State to ensure that there is money in the hands of its citizens through the Bayelsa Microfinance Bank to do business, pay their bills grow and contribute to the Bayelsa economy.

We shall invest with the sustainability of our environment in mind, considering the topical issues of climate change and decarbonization which are paramount for our continued existence as a people.
In addressing the prevalent issue of flood, our government shall dredge all the areas that need to be dredged, dike the boundaries, create new drainages, and clean up the existing canals and ensure that they are open for free flow of water, while enforcing all environmental sanitation, environmental protection and urban planning laws.

We would provide an effective transportation system across the state with modern vehicles for mass transit and boats for marine transportation to ease transportation in the state.
We would as a deliberate policy support the Arts, Culture & Entertainment sector of the state by making funds available to discover, support and expose talents of our musicians, artists, entertainers, comedians, movie makers, etc Government shall also partner with entertainers in the sponsorships of events, shows and activities that will open the sector for export and recognition.

We shall develop our natural environment, cultural practices and activities to enhance our tourism potentials and transform the state to a tourism destination.

The physically challenged and people with disabilities would be given special care and well catered for in our government. We shall set up a special commission to look into their issues and manage their disabilities and ensure that life is made a lot easier for them.
The aged/elderly people would be given special care and provided with incentives such as medicare, monthly stipends and other support that will cater for their weaknesses and ameliorate issues peculiar to them in a bid to give them a better lease of life.

It is pertinent to mention here, that our government shall be gender sensitive especially as it regards the female gender. We will strive to eliminate all forms of violence and discrimination against women and girls in the public and private spheres.
In keeping with this, we shall adhere to the 35% affirmation for female participation in governance. This will be reflected in our appointments and engagements.

The above issues are the basic day to day challenges faced by our people. Therefore, the well-being of the people is cardinal to the success of the people-oriented leadership that we are offering.
