Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has hinted that he would upgrade the appointment of Special Assistants on Political Units from 50,000 to 100,000.
The Governor made this disclosure on Friday at his private official residence on Friday during a live media chat with some media executives monitored by correspondent of the NewsBreakNG
On Wednesday, Wike appointed 28,000 for various political units in the oil-rich state.
The appointee included 14,000 Special Advisers, as well as 319 Ward Liaison Officers and 40 Local Government Area Liaison Officers.
The governor also earmarked N1 billion to support victims of flooding in Ahoada West and Ogba/Egbema/ Ndoni local government areas (LGAs) of the state.
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.
Recall the Governor held similar media chat on September 23, 2022 after returning from UK.
