Director-General of the bureau, Mr Dimieari Kemedi, said the bureau had restored fiscal discipline and respect for government finances.
Kemedi said the bureau also ensured that contracts awarded were executed and that the bureau had to do this because sometime people think that government contracts were never monitored.
According to him, the bureau has put in place the appropriate framework for the effective implementation of e-Governance in the state.
"The state now has an ICT strategy, the first in this country. What we have here today is as sophisticated as the ones in advance countries," he said.
He stressed that the strategy was to ensure the state had a financial plan by way of medium term budgeting framework with the state Ministry of Finance.
"What we will have is a situation where all of us in Bayelsa can plan for the long term and medium term future of the state instead of doing a year in year out budget thing," he said.
The process, he said, would be strengthened by the various sector strategies, which would be drawn from the comprehensive sustainable plan.
