Dickson inaugurates Bayelsa Information Board, sues for unity

 

Bayelsa State Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson, on Friday inaugurated a nine-member Board for the Bayelsa State Geographic and Information Systems (BYGIS) with a mandate to formulate policies targeted at effectively managing all land related information.

It is also aimed at creating wealth and promotion of enterprise.

Chief Alex Ekiotene is Chairman of the BYGIS Board, Chief Maclean Aduba is to serve as Vice Chairman, while the secretary is Surveyor Assembly Goin, who is expected to continue to serve Manager and Director.

Other members are, Hon. Nein Ebiakpo, former Assembly member, Chief Andy Godwin Toboro, Amanaowei of Ekowe, Chief Simeon Mathias, Paramount ruler of Ovom, Aboye Ebinimi Odibikuma, Retired Group Capt. John Yekoragha and Mr. Bright Yougha, former permanent secretary.

Dickson described the agency as the brainchild of his administration conceived during the first tenure.

According to him, the establishment of BYGIS is part of the overall strategy in creating wealth and encouraging entrepreneurship and development in the state, in line with global practices to place value on landed properties.

The Governor expressed the government’s expectation for the board and its management to work in unity on all critical issues, pointing out that, the Commissioner for Lands and Survey would play a supervisory role.

He also urged landowners to approach the Ministry of Lands and Survey as well as the BYGIS to process their Certificates of Occupancy, assuring that, within a time frame of 60 days such documents would be signed.

His said, “What has happened in most developed societies, including ours is that, we have not been able to put a value on them to enable those, who own landed property trade with title and I wanted to deal with that.  The establishment of BYGIS is part of the overall strategy in creating wealth and encouraging entrepreneurship and development in our state.

“When we got elected, we made that a cardinal programme of our government in the first term. In the first two years, we were able to initiate and develop the first and computerized Certificate of Occupancy system in Bayelsa State. And that is a product of the restoration revolution and that is up and running. Now, i have cause to inaugurate a board. Most of the members who are here also served on that board and they did well.

“With the management that is ably under the control of Surveyor Assembly Goin and his team, they were able to re-negotiate the earlier contracts, re-organize the establishment and for sometime, the BYGIS has been functioning and producing C of Os regularly for me to sign.

“And let me announce to you and to the whole state that, every morning when i come to the office, one of the first things i do is to look at the C of Os file and append my signature to the C of Os that have been processed and brought to me for signature. And you will recall that in the last couple of weeks, announcements have been to that effect. I want to call on all of you who intend to process your C of Os, know that they are being signed. I waste no time in signing them.”

In his response, Chief Alex Ekiotene thanked Governor Dickson for the confidence reposed in the members of the agency and assured the government that, they would work towards achieving the task assigned them.

  • Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  • Great blog right here! Additionally your web site rather a lot up fast! What web host are you the use of? Can I am getting your affiliate hyperlink for your host? I wish my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol

  • Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  • Can I just say what a relief to discover someone who really knows what they’re talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular given that you most certainly have the gift.
