Governor Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State on Friday received the New Telegraph Newspapers 2023 Governor of the Year Award in the Human Capacity Development category.
Diri who commended and appreciated the management of the New Telegraph Newspapers for the award, said it was gratifying that their modest effort as a government, at re-defining the socio-economic well-being of our people in Bayelsa State is resonating beyond our borders and attracting recognition and honour.
According to the Bayelsa Governor, “Our policies and emphasis on skills acquisition, technical and vocational education, ICT development and provision of monthly grants to small scale businesses in our state are not only gaining ground but also reshaping the narrative about our dear State.
The Governor was represented at the event by his Deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, Ph.D.
Disclosing in a statement on his offical X account, Diri said:
Last night, I received the New Telegraph Newspapers 2023 Governor of the Year Award in the Human Capacity Development category.
The event held at the Federal Palace Hotel on Victoria Island, Lagos State also had other awardees, including my Brother-Governors of Lagos, Enugu, Bauchi, Gombe and Kebbi states as well as top public servants, corporate organisations and individuals.
I was represented at the event by my dependable deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, Ph.D.
It is gratifying that our modest effort at re-defining the socio-economic well-being of our people in Bayelsa State is resonating beyond our borders and attracting recognition and honour.
Our policies and emphasis on skills acquisition, technical and vocational education, ICT development and provision of monthly grants to small scale businesses in our state are not only gaining ground but also reshaping the narrative about our dear State.
I, therefore, commend and appreciate the management of the New Telegraph Newspapers for this award.
As I always do, the honour is dedicated to the people of my state for their belief in my Prosperity Administration and for their unrelenting support.
To God be the Glory!
