The Nigeria Governors\u2019 Forum (NGF) has congratulated the Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, on his emergence as chairman of the South-South Governors\u2019 Forum.<\/p>\n
This is even as the forum pledged to foster policies and initiatives that will
\ndrive economic growth, security, and infrastructural advancement in the country.<\/p>\n
Recall that governor Diri was elected last Tuesday at a meeting of the region\u2019s governors held at the Government House, Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.<\/p>\n
His Cross River counterpart, Senator Bassey Otu, also emerged as Vice Chairman of the forum.<\/p>\n
The NGF in a congratulatory letter signed by its chairman and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, said Diri\u2019s election was a recognition of his \u201cleadership, dedication to governance, and commitment to the progress of the South-South
\nregion.\u201d<\/p>\n
The letter reads in part: \u201cYour election, alongside His Excellency, Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State as Vice Chairman, reflects the confidence your colleagues have in your ability to contribute meaningfully to the development and unity of the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am confident that your collaborative efforts will foster policies and initiatives that will drive economic growth, security, and infrastructural advancement across the South-South states and Nigeria as a whole.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you take on this new responsibility, please be assured of the support and partnership of the Nigerian Governors\u2019 Forum. We look forward to working closely
\nwith the Forum in strengthening intergovernmental relations and ensuring that governance continues to positively impact the lives of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
