[Governor Douye Diri @govdouyediri]

Yesterday in Abuja in the company of my wife, Dr. (Mrs.) Gloria Diri, I joined eminent Nigerians, senior citizens and top public servants from Bayelsa State to honour a worthy daughter of the state and a distinguished public servant, the retiring Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dame (Mrs.) Didi Esther Walson-Jack, OON, mni, at the presentation of two of her books, ‘I Planted: A Memoir of Purposeful Service’ and ‘Beyond the Mandate’, documenting her 34 years of illustrious service to the nation.

I am glad to acknowledge the presence of former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Dr. Kingsley Udeh, who represented President Bola Tinubu, my colleague from Borno State, Professor Babagana Zulum, Rivers State Deputy Governor, Prof. Ngozi Odu, my predecessor in office, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, former Bayelsa deputy governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John-Jonah (rtd), National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and others at the gathering to celebrate a woman who has made herself, her family, our State, and indeed our nation proud.

As the Chief Presenter of ‘I Planted: A Memoir of Purposeful Service’, I wish to reflect on my working relationship with Mrs. Walson-Jack during her service as Chief of Staff, Government House under my predecessor in office, H.E Senator Henry Seriake Dickson and I can attest to her resilience, diligence and integrity in office.

In that capacity, I saw first-hand the discipline, the intellect, and the quiet strength she brought to governance in Bayelsa State. She was the calm in the storm, the memory of the administration, and the conscience that reminded us that every decision must serve the people.

As she exits the Federal Civil Service after thirty-four years of unexampled and meritorious service spanning Rivers State, Bayelsa State, and the Federal Civil Service, we do not mark an end. We mark a transition from active service to enduring legacy.

These books document the seeds of faith, hard work, and integrity that Mrs. Walson-Jack sowed from her early days in the Civil Service. The text and tone of the books indeed bear a striking resemblance to their author: measured, graceful, principled, and deeply rooted.

These books are more than a personal recollection, it is an archive of the formative years of our State — a record of those who cleared the grasses, dug the foundation, and put frameworks in place capable of outliving the individual who established them.

While I appreciate Mr. President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for appointing Mrs. Walson-Jack, to the position in August, 2024, we are most delighted that she has served the country with an unblemished record.

As a state, we are extremely proud of her accomplishments, and on behalf of the government and people of Bayelsa, I extend warm congratulations to Mrs. Walson-Jack for being an outstanding ambassador of our state and the Niger Delta.

I dare say, Bayelsa is proud of you, a worthy daughter of the Ijaw nation. You planted in Rivers and Bayelsa States. You watered in Abuja. And God in His grace has increased the work of your hands. Today, the whole nation gathers to witness the harvest — a harvest that will continue to feed generations long after the applause in the hall has faded.

Congratulations once again, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack. May God continue to bless you and keep you, for more years of greater service to our state and our country.

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

[Government of Nigeria @NigeriaGov]

Fellow Nigerians,

When we began this journey of reform in 2023, I promised that the difficult decisions we were making would serve the purpose of building an economy that works better for you and a country that is stronger for our children.

Today, your government presents The Reforms Scorecard. It sets out what our reforms have achieved, what they have cost us, and the greater costs and harms we have prevented by acting when we did.

I have therefore directed the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele @taiwoyedele, to give an account to Nigerians, to explain the numbers, the choices we have made, the progress recorded, and the work that remains.

You deserve to see the numbers. You deserve to know what has changed and what these reforms mean for you, your family, your business and our country.

This is your government.
This is your country.
This is our account to you.
