From The Commissioner's Desk

The Ministry was renamed as the Ministry of Communication, Science & Technology in 2020 by the Prosperity Government led by His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State, in an effort to reduce the cost of governance.

Initially established in 2006 by then-Governor Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as the Ministry of Science and Technology, it was later scrapped after his administration. With subsequent changes in government and policies, the ministry was re-established in 2012 but merged with the Ministry of Youth, Conflict Resolution & Employment Generation.
During the Restoration Government led by Governor Henry Seriake Dickson, the ministry was renamed the Ministry of Science, Technology and Manpower Development on August 6, 2012..
