THE Honourable Commissioner Storms the Modern Fish farm at Ogbogoro

The Honourable Commissioner for Agriculture are Natural Resources storms the Modern Fish Farm at Ogbogoro, Yenagoa Local Government Area in Bayelsa State to ascertain the level of Work under construction.

The fish farm which is under construction is one of the numerous farms undertaking by the countryman Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson to boost fish production which is geared towards creating employment and to increase the internally Generated Income of the State.

The Governor is preparing the State in order to move away from depending solely on the federal Government’s allocation mainly from the sale of Oil and Gas.

You will recall that the Governor has already constructed the Yenegwe Aquaculture Village which has started production of fish.

At Igeibiri, a similar farm is also under construction. This is a way of preparing the State for sustainable development. Fish farming is another way to create employment and generation of income for Bayelsans Bayelsa State.

Under the able leadership of the Honourable Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Doodei Agbabou Week, Bayelsa State is gearing up to achieve self reliance and development.

Since he took over the running of the Ministry, Prince Doodei Agbabou Week has created significant progress and development in Agricultural Development and progress in the Agricultural sub-sub-sector.

Very soon, Bayelsa State will be one of the States that will become self sustainable and Self-reliant.

I wish to that thank the Governor and Honourable Doodei for their hard work and dedication in piloting the affairs of the State especially in the Agricultural sector.

Bravo to the Governor Henry Seriake Dickson and the Honourable Commisioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources.THE-Honourable-Commissioner-Storms-the Modern-Fish- -Ogbogoro

  Introduction

Bayelsa aqua-culture farm to generate N3.5bn annually, this was revealed in a chat with Blue and Green Revolution reporter, the Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Honourable Doodei Agbabou Week..

He also said that the vast farm estate, located on 27 hectres of land is at Yenegwe, suburb of Yenagoa, in the state is expected to provide employment to about 16,000 youths when fully operational.

The farm has a hatchery, earth ponds, feed mill and fish processing unit.

He said that the project was part of efforts to diversify the state’s economy. His words: “The vision of the governor for the project is to make Bayelsa the fish hub and rake in an annual income of not less than N3.5 billion. “Processed, packaged and branded Bayelsa fish will be produced here. Production has already started with 500 earth fish ponds with many of our youths already engaged.

 Apart from employment, he said it will generate a lot of economic activities. We are looking at about 16,000 jobs to be generated here directly or indirectly. We want to diversify our economy. “This is a clear vision of the governor. This farm estate will be replicated in all the local government areas.  As we speak, Southern Ijaw farm has started. In Sagbama, Nembe, land acquisition is going on. This project will ensure we stop importation of fish”.

Governor Dickson sees far into the future, that is why he has constructed the Aquaculture village. And to make it work, he has appointed an expert in this field in person of Honourable Doodei Agbabou Week, a man with great insight, vision and productive ideas. He is a round peg in a round hole. Today, one of the great promises of the countryman Governor as he is popularly called, His Excellency Henry Seriake Dickson has been fulfilled. No wonder, he is known as the “talk na do” Governor (he does whatever he says).

As part of the measures to achieve this, the state government has handed over the management of a multi-Billion Naira aquaculture village built by Governor Seriake Dickson to a private firm, Aquaseas Company Limited.

A visit to the Bayelsa State Aquaculture Village will convince you that Bayela State has begun the process of industrialization, as this project is just one of the numerous industries built and others like the Ebedebiri Cassava and Starch Processing factory which is 80% completed, the reorganized Bayelsa Palm and other productive establishments that are on-going.

Bravo! Henry Seriake Dickson.

Bravo! Hon. Doodei A. Week.

Bravo! The great people of Bayelsa State.
