The Bayelsa Executive Council will hold a special valedictory session in honour of late Gov. Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State on Dec. 18.
Yakowa died in Saturday’s helicopter crash in Bayelsa.
This is contained in a statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information, Mr Markson Fefegha, in Yenagoa on Monday.
Fefegha said the session would hold on Dec. 18 at the Government House, Yenagoa.
“The State Government will, thereafter, send a delegation of top government functionaries to accompany the casket of the governor to Kaduna where it will be formally handed over to Kaduna State,’’ he said.
The commissioner said that an enlarged Bayelsa Government delegation, to be led by Gov. Seriake Dickson, is expected to visit Kaduna on Dec. 19.
He said the delegation will participate in the funeral activities scheduled to take place on Dec. 20.
