Therefore,
our government shall invest heavily and strategically in
electricity within the confines of the law. We shall take
advantage of the enormous availability of gas resources, water
resources and renewables to provide clean, safe and
uninterrupted power supply in Bayelsa State.
We shall procure Gas turbines
for the three senatorial districts for uninterrupted power
supply.
We would harness the
availability of gas to power an Industrial / Production area
which we will advertise to attract industries.
We would revive and strengthen
the moribund Bayelsa Oil company to fully participate in the Oil
and Gas sector in Bayelsa State.
We would identify investment
areas where Bayelsa State has comparative advantages in oil
& gas, petrochemicals, power generation and agro-allied
processing and manufacturing and deploy resources to expand and
develop these areas.
Our administration will embark
on massive infrastructural development in a bid to cover the
embarrassing infrastructural deficit that is evident in Bayelsa
State. We shall construct flyovers; ensure quality construction
and completion of our senatorial roads; construct and complete
internal and link roads in the capital city; Construction of
ring roads; befitting beautification of the capital city;
uncompromisingly implement the Yenagoa master plan; construct
state-of-the-art leisure parks, zoo and tourism sites.
We shall revive the following moribund state-owned companies:
• Bayelsa Construction Company
• Bayelsa Oil Company
• Bayelsa Dredging Company
• Bayelsa Plastic Company
• Bayelsa Paint Manufacturing Company
• Bayelsa Printing Press
• Bayelsa Palm
• Bayelsa Transport Company
• Bayelsa Drug Distribution Company
• Bayelsa Fisheries
• Bayelsa Cassava Processing Facilty
• 1500 Fish ponds - Igbogene and 1000 Fish Ponds - Ayama
With this agenda, we would have
increased the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), which we shall
maximise using technology to block leakages and by so doing
would have stimulated the economy for growth.
These and many more areas would
be explored beyond our focal points in the agenda.
In all, our goal will be to
always identify the needs of the state and meet them accordingly
with the ultimate objective of creating positive changes that
will impact the people positively.
This we have resolved to do with
God helping us.
Thank you and God Bless you.
