He called on Bayelsans to continue to trust the state government, knowing that the state’s resources are in safe hands.
“As a government, we are happy to continue doing what we are doing by being transparent enough so that Bayelsans will know that their common wealth is in very safe hands.
“We are not misusing the trust and as a government, we are out to make sure that whatever that is desirous, whatever that is good for the people of Bayelsa state, gets to them as a people.
“We have been about a year plus and we will continue to do this transparency but to put it straight away is that this government has embarked on a lot of projects; what we want to tell all Bayelsans today is that none of these projects will be abandoned halfway.
