Yesterday (22/08/11) marked the second anniversary of Peace Day in Bayelsa State as well as the success of the post Amnesty Programme. Governor Timipre Sylva stated that Peace Park was symbolically designed as it was the arena where the ex- militants laid down their arms. He further buttressed his statement by identifying the recent increase in recognition in the comity of states; also a renowned son of this great Bayelsa State emerged as the President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Furthermore, he stated that the disarmament of the ex-militants has evidently resulted to vast improvement of oil production in the federation. Therefore he enjoined the people of Bayelsa State to embrace peace. Chairman of Niger Delta Peace and Conflict Resolution, Chief James Jephthah, acknowledged the huge success recorded as the ex-militants undergo various training. He further enjoined the youths to embrace long lasting peace towards ensuring development as well as edifying the State.
