Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson sees the compulsory contribution to the education development levy as a means to building a crop of highly skilled Bayelsa youths, to meet the challenges of a competitive and industrialised world.
Making this known during a media chat with newsmen in Yenagoa, the Governor said members of the state executive councils, state assembly members and the judiciary will contribute to the development levy.
He also announced that as a governor, he is obliged to make monthly contribution to the Education Development fund with the sum of N100,000, his deputy will donate N50,000, speaker of the state house of assembly will contribute N30,000 and the state chief Judge will contribute N25,000.
Governor Dickson also canvassed the support of the people of the state to enable his administration provide quality education, particularly for the less privileged children.
According to him, the Educational Development Trust Fund is expected to generate between N100 million and N250 million monthly, while that of the Higher Education Students Loan would be solely funded by the Government.
