The Bayelsa State Governor, Sen. Douye Diri, yesterday, commissioned a handwashing machine, making it the first project the administration is commissioning after 5 months in office.

The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Sen. Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, commissioned the project at the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Bayelsa State Wednesday 8th July, 2020.

It will be recalled that Senator Douye Diri was sworn in as the fifth civilian governor of Bayelsa State on the 14th of February, 2020, after the Supreme Court of Nigeria had sacked Chief David Lyon as governor-elect barely 24 hours to his inauguration.

Confirming the ceremony to NAIJA LIVE TV, the Senior Special assistant to the Deputy Governor on New Media Mr. Clement Ovokeroye Paul, on a facebook post, said the Deputy Governor Commisioned the project on behalf of the Governor Sen. Douye Diri on Wednesday.

According to him: “On behalf of His Excellency, the Governor of Bayelsa State, His Excellency the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, on Wednesday 8th July, 2020 received a Touchless Automatic Solar Power Hand Washing Sanitizing System, from the Bayelsa State Civil Service Commission.

“The device was designed and constructed by a Bayelsan – Engineer, Ebregbe Solomon, a staff of the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Bayelsa State.

“His Excellency commended the Bayelsa born Engineer for inventing the device which will help in reducing the spread of the COVID-19 in the State. He urged other young Bayelsans to emulate Engr Solomon Ebregbe.”

Also, the Senior Special Assistant to the SSG on Social Media Comr. Isedirikonghen Ebi AlhaJi in a long telephone conversation with NAIJA LIVE TV attributed that the administration of Sen. Douye Diri’s govt has received several donations from individuals, cooperate organizations and other organizations their contributions for the government to fight against the coronavirus. And when such gift items are received, the govt make them public and commissioned them for use.

“This solar powered hand washing installation was an initiative of a civil servant in the state, and donated to the govt as his contribution in the fight against the pandemic. And in its usual manner, the govt made it public, commissioned it and have since put it to use.”

“If you had followed the events at the govt house last Wednesday, the Bayelsa State Govt first received a modernized fire fighting truck from the Federal Ministry of Fire Service, to boost the effort of the state’s fire fighting, especially in this period of COVID-19 in the event of any fire outbreak. This fire fighting truck was also Commissioned and handed over to the relevant body before the technology on the hand washing machine was received, commissioned, and put to use same day.”

“Therefore, I see no justifiable reason why writers are economical with the truth possibly in a bid to incite the unsuspecting public against the govt that is working so hard to prevent the state from being grounded by the ravaging coronavirus pandemic”
