Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson, on Monday bemoaned the recent vandalism of pipelines by Niger Delta militants, saying the country could not afford any destruction of national assets.
Dickson spoke with State House correspondents at the end of a meeting he attended alongside representatives of oil firms operating in his state at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting was presided over by the Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
The governor said the meeting resolved that all hands must be on the deck to ensure that the attacks were stopped forthwith.
He said, “First, we are here because the Vice-President took time to invite the state government and the representatives of oil companies that are operating in Bayelsa State because of the issues the government has with them in respect of taxation principally.
“But we have also used this opportunity to talk about the need for an enabling secured environment for the oil companies to continue with their operations.
“This is a time that we cannot afford to have any disruption, not to talk of vandalism of critical national assets. This is a time that all hands should be on the deck.
“All of us as stakeholders are concerned and we have agreed to work together to ensure that production is not disrupted and that all partners should be responsible and do what we need to do.
“I want to use this opportunity to say that yesterday (Sunday) at the meeting of the South South governors in Asaba, this issue was discussed; the need for all of us to work together in the Niger Delta, compare notes and collaborate with the Federal Government was discussed.
“We agreed to have a meeting with the President. We have conveyed that message and we are looking forward to a date that will be convenient for the President.
“The meeting will be on how we can jointly protect strategic national assets, discuss our common and shared responsibilities for security, law and order.”
Nigeria can’t afford further destruction of national assets – Dickson

Dickson you forget in a hurry the number of lives that were lost in election that brought you into power and the National properties that were destroyed. Also people of Bayelsan that are dying everyday as a result of months of unpaid salaries.
Let him run his mouth.
Dickson pay your workers first before you talk about other things.
Is that all what u said are truth sir
that doesn’t mean there should destroy there own property…
Can there be Delta without Niger??
Not really!
If they like ,after destroying the pipelines,let them start destroying their houses for all we care.Thank God some amount have earmarked for oil exploration in the Chad basin.
Where is the Chad desert oil located?
Around the fringes of Yobe and Borno and some parts of chad rep.
Where is Nigeria?please niger delta most keep on with the good work they are doing.Nigeria most go.
U’r advicing dem to spoil dre land by dre self……
While Bayelsans remain without pay for several months, the Governor flaunts himself as a national hero.
Call ur people 2 order,they are claiming GOD’S gift 2 NIGERIA!
Which Nigeria?
Niger area where u dey,Niger delta is d tail end of river Niger, is river Niger ur property?
Double liar.
buhari should rather be diplomatic since soldiers can’t be the solution. I know fulanis loves strife.
All of you who are insulting people in ur comment should be mindful, and maintain a good reasonable or thinking faculty.
Dickson ur people has been this destruction assets of Nigerians. So federal govt should kill who destructing that assets
Nonsense

Destruction of pipelines can never and will never be a solution to your agitations. Press your demands democratically to the NASS. Bt remember the potent & mobile state of the Nigerian Armed Forces now.
More will be destroyed soon
Nice talk
Cowardice
FURTHER DESTRUCTION NATIONAL ASSETS !!! … OR DISINTEGRATION OF THE COUNTRY. …WHAT DO …EXPECT WHEN BOTH OUR POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS SUPPORT MURDERS AND ARSON. ….JUSTICE HAS BECOME A VERY SCARCE COMMODITY IN THE COUNTRY.
Sounding like Uncle Tom to please his master!
The AVENGERS keep on the good works. Keep the fire burning.
Govs of d oil producing states, how hav u really manage prudently d 13 percent derivation well. U encourage d militants.
Good.
Are you and your pple tired?
Bether
Better tell them
Mumu.governor is not Niger Delta militants but Niger Delta avengers so mumu governor correct ur speech
The 2 tribes ruling president of d 25’th century said he can do without others let he also do without their God giving resources clueless regime stitch on time saves9.
I will advise the militants to continue bombing and destroying their own land while other regions are securing their own.Yorubas have oil in three states and they are not even making noise about it because they believe they can use their brains for something else.our brothers in the south should start thinking about what to do apart from oil forgetting thae world is moving away from oil. If you destroy your land because of fighting for oil I don’t think you’re doing yourself and your entire generations any good.Nigeria government is gradually developing other key sectors like agriculture and mining and oil production have started in other regions so you people should be wise.
One Word is wise for man
The Tiv people have a saying:
“Ka wea hii ihundugh u hii nanden ya wou”
MEANING.
WHEN MADNESS BEGINS, YOU FIRST BURN YOUR HOUSE.
THEY ARE MAD. They will feel the pinch of what they do. The smoke and land distruction will be felt by the land owners. When you act foolishly and think you are wise, this is the result you get.
Thanks my brada for helping expose 1st Class FOOLISHNESS.
Those who the gods want to destroy, he make them mad. So the niger deltans are heading for destruction so they are mad now.
Your advise make sence. If they know.
there will never noo..
Ur misguided brothers(bh) used the North easterns to destroy dia own land..and nw u want to pass NEDC bill,so Nigerians wil nw fix wat dy destroyed themselves..Mbaaa
Hahahahahahaha yoruba have oil abi?story from mad man ..
80% of NIGERIANS ECONOMY depends on there oil..so think am na.
Dem no sabi anytin ni…….
How many of you commenting here have actually been to an oil producing community in Niger Delta, try it and you will see that the discovery of crude oil is more of a curse to them than a blessing which is an unfortunate outcome. I’m not trying to support the militants destruction because they are even doing it for primordial and selfish reason. I’m talking about a total destruction of those people’s ancient way of life just because they were unlucky to have crude oil. Instead of crude oil prospering them, it has impoverished them and their generations to come. That’s why it won’t matter to them if those facilities are destroyed
If you call the God chosen people,the blessed militants mad people,,tell me now what do you call ur brothers boko haram, wen buhari founded boko haram,all the northerners were shouting sai baba sai buhari, who are these rapist sons of doom that open dere dirty smelling cow shit to call the ordained and anointed people of the most high GOD the militants the new AVENGERS mad people, may madness kill all of you cows rapist
Nnanna Azubuike good thinking,sir!
May u live long
Have u paid salaries? U buffoon. Abi Nigerians (bayelsans in focus) no b national assets? Mtchewww
Good talk. Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan should now stand tall and condemn with all sincerity the Avengers activities as it concerns the guys from his constituency. Failure to talk as an elder states man now would be indirectly agreeing to and supporting the activities of the militants.
And wht happen to your mouth busy bode.

Why cant u 4 once let GEJ REST

Bro governor, this is not the time to start talking trash, the guys have made their demandings known to Nigeria. Its left for fed govt to check whether their demands are worth demanding for, then apply diplomacy to meet their demands.
Hypocritical tears
Get the damn dogs chained
Just waking from slumber !.
Their damages ‘ll increase your monthly allocations ‘d internally generated revenue.
Let them continue the damages now, as your elders are enjoying the show of madness !.
They are enjoying the madness, as long as their children are NOT part of those involved.
