A Celebration of Gratitude: Bayelsa State Annual Thanksgiving

2023

Greater Bayelsa joined Bayelsans across the state in celebrating the 12th Edition of the Bayelsa State Thanksgiving Service — an annual gathering of gratitude for the blessings and progress of the state. Governor Douye Diri led the celebration, joined by dignitaries, community leaders, and citizens from every corner of Bayelsa, all gathered in a spirit of unity and thanksgiving.

The event carried special significance that year with the presence of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who graced the occasion — a moment that underscored the weight and prestige of the gathering. Amid vibrant cultural attire, music, and celebration, Bayelsans came together not just to give thanks, but to reaffirm a shared commitment to the state’s continued growth.

As a partner in the day’s celebration, Greater Bayelsa stood alongside fellow Bayelsans in honoring unity, resilience, and a shared vision for a brighter future — hand in hand, for a #GreaterBayelsa.
