The Bayelsa State Government has
warned oil producing communities in the state to desist from disrupting
operations of oil firms, as the act is an invitation to anarchy.
The government noted that such act
was capable of tarnishing the reputation of the government and sending wrong
signal to international investors.
Felix Ayah, Special Adviser to the
Governor on Oil and Gas, in a statement in Yenagoa today, said the state
government frowned at the incessant closures of operations of multinational oil
firms by aggrieved communities.
He noted that the state government
“heavily relies on oil revenue that accrued monthly’’ to finance its
development projects and hence any disruption negatively affects the economic
fortunes of the state.
Ayah explained that since the
activities of the government were anchored on transparency, love and
development, Bayelsa people should close ranks to preserve the existing peace
in the state.
He advised indigenes of the state to
always toe the path of peace by channelling their grievances through the
appropriate government quarters for attention.
