The thanksgiving service was held at the Ecumenical Centre, Igbogene, Yenagoa, and had renowned Ghanaian preacher, Dr. Otabil Mensah, as the guest speaker.
Governor Diri, in his remarks, said Bayelsa was witnessing a transformation with the completion of several impactful projects as well as ongoing and newly-awarded projects.
He listed some to include the three big-ticket senatorial roads, particularly the Bayelsa Central Road, which he said would get to Oporoma, headquarters of the Southern Ijaw local government area.
He also stated that with the support of the federal government, the second phase of the Nembe-Brass Road Bayelsa East would come on stream while the ongoing first phase would be 90 per cent completed by the end of the year.
