23 November 2016, Yenagoa – Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa on Wednesday expressed disappointment with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) for holding its 6th Practical Nigerian Content Forum in Abuja.
Dickson, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr Talford Ongolo, expressed his displeasure in his opening remarks at the forum in Abuja.
Quoting from the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act (2010), the governor said the head office of the council and board was required to be located in any oil and gas producing state.
He said that it was in clear violation of this provision that the NCDMB established an office in Abuja which is not an oil and gas producing area.
