The Bayelsa State Government has declared Thursday a public holiday for its annual thanksgiving.
A terse statement issued in Yenagoa by the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said it was that time of the year again to collectively thank God for all his goodness, mercies and grace upon their lives and the state.
According to him, there should not be any excuse not to turn up for the event as the public holiday which is backed by law, gives everyone, especially civil servants the opportunity to be part of it.
