Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, on Wednesday effected a minor

cabinet reshuffle, assigning the Ministry of Information and

Orientation to his immediate past Chief Press Secretary, Daniel

Iworiso Markson.

Markson, who is taking over the Information Ministry from Jonathan

Obuebite was sworn in as a cabinet member inside the Executive Council

Chambers, Government House before his portfolio was announced

by the governor.

Others affected by the reshuffle were the former Commissioner for

Information and Orientation, Jonathan Obuebite, who was assigned the

Ministry of Education, Markson Fefegha, former Commissioner for

Education who was assigned the Ministry of Mineral Resources.

Addressing the appointees, the governor said that the new Information

commissioner was on a familiar terrain having been his Press Secretary

for close to six years.

The governor said that with the background of the new information boss as a Public Relation practitioner and working with him for six years as Press Secretary, he is expected to bring his wealth of experience to bear in his present assignment.

Dickson, who described the new responsibility of his former Chief Press

Secretary as a “big shoe,” urged him to emulate the “verve, commitment

and dynamism,” which Obuebite brought in the Ministry of Information

and adopt similar style.

 

The State Chief Executive said as a key member of the State Media

Team, who will now assume the chairman of the Media Team, Markson

should harness the resources of the members of the media team made up

of seasoned journalists and project the policies and activities of

government very effectively.
