Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has called on the Federal Government to give more opportunities to Bayelsans at the federal level, saying the state has been shortchanged for long.

Diri, who stated this in his office, when he received the Federal Commissioner representing Bayelsa in the Federal Character Commission , Mr. Tonye Okio, also promised to support the agency to ensure that the state gets its fair share of positions and infrastructure.

While advocating more openings for Bayelsans at the centre, Diri encouraged people of the state to be open to opportunities to fill the state’s quota at federal level. He said President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the commission to activate the second mandate, which is ensuring equitable distribution of social amenities.
