Diri
Governor Diri assented to the bills on Wednesday during the 188th state executive council meeting in Government House, Yenagoa.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, quoted him as describing the PWDs legislation as “profound” and “the people’s law” as it guarantees dignity, equal opportunity, and fair treatment for all Bayelsans regardless of physical condition.
The governor commended the sponsor of the bill, Dr. Charles Daniel, member representing Brass Constituency I in the House of Assembly, for his persistence, describing it as one of the best legislations from the state legislature.
He also lauded the Speaker and members of the Assembly for the speedy passage of the bill, noting that the law would address the exclusion of persons with disabilities in public and private infrastructure.

His words: “I had directed the Deputy Governor when he was the Chief of Staff to initiate an Executive Bill that would take care of our brothers and sisters living with disability. I was later informed there was already a private member bill sponsored by Dr. Daniel, and so I directed the executive arm to work with him. That is the product we have today.
“For me, this is one of the best pieces of legislation that has come out of the State House of Assembly.
“I commend members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly and the very hard working Speaker for giving very quick attention to this bill and passing it with the speed of light.”
