The immediate past Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa, Mr Daniel Iworiso-Markson on Sunday called on youths of Ogbia Local Government to support the governor in his quest to make life more meaningful to them.
According to him, the governor has excelleed in developing human capacity in the state, through his massive investment in education and manpower development.
Iworiso-Markson made the call while delivering a lecture entitled: "Dangers of hard drugs and cultism", as a Special Guest of Honour during the first Ogbia Students Conference with the theme: "Education as the panacea for National Development."
"Without education the future of this generation and those coming is bleak. That is why the present administration is investing massively in that sector. All of you are witnesses to the fact that, new schools are been built, while old ones are refurbished and well equipped.
"A good example is the Ijaw National Academy in Kaiama.
"The school has among other things 1,000 students and a British Principal. Everything and without mincing words everything is free. From textbooks to food, just name them.
"So you can see clearly that, through Governor Dickson's massive investment in education, the government is helping to prepare a new generation of leaders that will help impact on the society positively".Iworiso-Markson said.
It will be recalled that Dickson had in a minor cabinet shake up replaced Iworiso-Markson as CPS with Mr Francis Ottah-Agbo and elevated the former CPS to a Commisioner.
