Here, we must give special honour, commendation and appreciation to Engr. Olice Kemenanabo, the Managing Director/CEO of Bayelsa State Electricity Company Limited for his unquantifiable sacrifices.

If majority of public servants can show this level of passion, fidelity, commitment, devotion and dedication to their principals and duty, we shall have a better society.

Bayelsans and other residents and visitors are the biggest, greatest and most powerful Masquerades here and they deserve the highest Encomium and Appreciation for their understanding, patience and cooperation.

Finally, the days, weeks and months of waiting are over.

We are marching towards a New Dawn. All the government need is your usual support.
