YENAGOA—Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, has approved the extension of the appointment of Dr. Peter Singabele as the State Head of Service.

The extension, which is for six months, takes effect from June 16.

A statement from the office of the Secretary to the State Government, David Serena Dokubo-Spiff,  explained that the extension was informed by the numerous important ongoing service related issues being handled by the Head of Service, stressing that, his leaving the service now could be detrimental to the administration’s programme of repositioning the civil service for greater efficiency.

The statement, however, expressed the hope that, he would serve the state loyally, with a sense of patriotism, proficiency and diligence.

Similarly, Dickson has extended the appointment of Mr. Joseph Akedesuo as a Permanent Secretary and Head of State Protocol services for a period of one year.
