Bayelsa SPEAKS

Bayelsa Speaks is a platform where stakeholders from all works of life contribute directly in the affairs of the State.

It is a bottom-up mechanism where the Bayelsa State Governor Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson listens directly to the citizens of Bayelsa State and also uses this platform to share the visions and dreams of their homeland.

Bayelsa Speaks is a Peoples Platform as it intends to showcase good leadership practices by strengthening democratic principles such as transparency, accountability and integrity; show empathy by trying to understand the root causes and social issues of the people; and upholding the rule of law by demonstrating leadership by example.

Finally, it intends to harmonise the "Ijaw Nation" by bringing together the common values, systems, cultural heritage and tradition to the fore.
