The Government Spokesperson who said that the amount did not include other funds invested in the Unified Primary School Leaving Examination and Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination which are sponsored by the state Government and at no cost to the parents and their wards, added that the commitment of the governor to progressive ideas and projects in the education sector was borne out of Governor Douye Diri’s belief that education is the best legacy a society can bequeath to the upcoming generation.


Hon. Duba urged Bayelsans of all walks of life to look forward to the second tenure of Senator Douye Diri with great optimism assuring that Bayelsa is yet to see the best of the transformative leader.
