Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has announced plans for the establishment of a flood and erosion control agency in the 2023 budget to combat floods in the state.

He said that the agency would be established soon to adequately plan and administer the state’s flood and erosion regulations.

The governor, who spoke yesterday in Lagos at the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries event titled “Mgbidi Lagos Experience,” with the theme “What God has determined shall be done,” said he was there to worship God and thank Him for everything He did for the state in 2022, and everything He will do in 2023.

Asked if he was bothered about the crisis in the PDP, Diri said: “Today, I am here to worship God and not for PDP.”

Diri said: “We have budgeted for a flood and erosion control agency in our 2023 budget and we are going to constitute that agency for the implementation of our policies on flood and erosion. That is the step we have taken so far.”
