According to the statement, Governor Dickson will use the occasion of the world press conference to give an account of his administration’s stewardship and his eight years meritorious service to the state.
The Information Commissioner added that a Valedictory State Executive Council Meeting and other crucial state engagements have also been lined up to mark the end of the tenure. Iworiso-Markson further added that Governor Dickson will be leaving behind amongst many things, numerous infrastructural projects that have changed the face of the state, particularly in Yenagoa, the state capital.
He stated that Dickson will equally be remembered for the huge investment in health and education, the reforms in the civil service, transparency and accountability, political stability and complete change of the governance structure in the state.
