Due to the disbandment of the Independent Evaluation Unit (IEU) and the shortage of resources following its reinstitution, the IEU has been limited in its capacity to perform these functions for independent project evaluations to the degree anticipated. As a result, some independent evaluation reports posted may not be in full compliance with all IEU or UNEG guidelines.

Bayelsa State on election security by DFID's J4A. Introduction The Governorship election in Bayelsa State scheduled for February 11, 2011 has been marred by controversies following the disqualification of the incumbent Governor by his party. This has raised tensions in the state and across the Niger Delta region and fears about election related violence. These fears are not unfounded as several developments suggest threats to security. Barely one month to the election, unknown persons invaded the country home of a key ex-militant leader and killed a policeman in the process. There was also a reported attempt to blow up a bridge linking two major towns in the state some days to the national campaign rally of the candidate of the ruling party. During this period also, security agencies reportedly defused an explosive device in the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The fears are heightened by the history of political violence in the state especially the upsurge of militancy since 2005.

    THE SOUL OF THE IJAW NATION This plaque is like no other; it is a very special plaque, profound in its significance. In it is engraved the sacred signs, colours, aspirations and symbols not only of Bayelsa state, but also of the entire Ijaw nation. Bayelsa State is the Jerusalem of the Ijaw nation and our people are resilient and unconquerable. It is also the headquarters of the Ijaw people and the Epicentre of the Niger Delta, with all of its contradictions and potentials of the Niger Delta. It represents the soul of the Ijaw nation and in it you will see the first oil well discovered in Nigeria with the gas still flaring. You have the palm oil showcasing our agricultural abundance. You can also see the Ijaw man and his wife in a canoe still going about fishing as we have done since our ancestors settled here. Sadly there are no more fishes to be caught as a result of the pollutions from oil exploration activities. As you know, the crocodile is the master of the land and the sea, while the leopard showcases the strength of the Ijaw man. The great white shark, you see in the plaque is called Ofruma-pepe by our people and it emblematic of our aquatic splendour. The white shark only surfaces when the sea is roughest. Finally, in the background is the rising sun, indicating a brighter future for the Ijaw nation. Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson On the significance of the Bayelsa State Coat of Arms. Bayelsa State Governor, His Excellency, Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson Shares His Thoughts on © 2018.
