Dr. Ayawei Nimibofa said that if he is given the opportunity to govern Bayelsa State, his core areas of focus would be two folds, namely, Job Creation for the unemployed Youths and Tackling of Insecurity. He said that he would also work hard to see that a road links Brass where he noted that most of the oil offshore platforms are domiciled.
