A Group, Pastor Reuben Initiative for Good Leadership and Accountability (PRIFGLA), has announced the appointment of Dr Ndutimi Donkumo as the Bayelsa State Director for the group.

The appointment approved by Chief Reuben C. Wilson, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and founder of PRIFGLA, is expected to take immediate effect.

A statement signed on Monday by Chief Francis O. Wainwei, Esq, Chief of Staff to Chief Wilson, confirmed that Mr Frank Eseimokumo Soko will continue in his role as Director‑General of PRIFGLA.

Dr Donkumo, who brings his background from public administration and community development, is expected to oversee the implementation of PRIFGLA’s projects aimed at promoting good governance, youth empowerment and social accountability in Bayelsa.
