PDP: Building Infrastructure Without Providing Food Will Worsen Poverty
Olusegun Samuel in Yenagoa
The Bayelsa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has argued that infrastructure without food on the table has made the people of the state poorer and hungrier than they were before the coming of Governor Douye Diri’’s administration.
It also berated the alleged inability of the government to name any clear wealth creation, employment generation and poverty alleviation programmes, describing it as an admission of failure.
The PDP said despite increased revenues accruing to the state through improved derivation and enhanced federal allocations, the living conditions of many citizens have worsened, with hunger and poverty becoming daily realities across communities in the state.
