Rivers: Nyesom Wike appoints 28,000 special assistants
Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has selected 28,000 people to various political units in the oil-rich state ahead of the general elections in 2023.

This information was revealed in a statement released on Wednesday by Kelvin Ebiri, the governor's spokesman.

The appointments, which are effective immediately, came one day after Wike named 319 ward liaison officers and 40 local government area liaison officers in addition to 14,000 Special Advisers.

The governor also set aside N1 billion, according to the statement, to aid the state's flood victims.

According to Ebiri, the money will be used to support flood victims in the state's Ahoada West and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government areas (LGAs).

He said the gesture is “to enable vulnerable families, particularly in Ahoada West and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGAs, which are the most impacted areas in the state, to cope with the devastating flood water which has inundated homes, farmlands and forced residents of affected communities to relocate to safer places”.

Specifically, Wike said the Permanent Secretary of Special Services Bureau (SSB) in the Office of the Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr George Nwaeke, will serve as the chairman of the Taskforce, while, Mrs Inime I. Aguma, is the secretary.

Other members of the Taskforce are the Chairman of Ahoada West LGA, Hon. Hope Ikiriko; Chairman of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA, Hon. Vincent Job; Hon. Chukwuemeka Onowo and the Director of Administration in the Ministry of Special Duties.

All members of the Taskforce are expected to meet with Wike on Thursday at the Rivers State Government House, Port Harcourt.
