The governor, His Excellency, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, on Tuesday, announced the appointment of 14,000 Advisers into his cabinet.
The appointees are expected to be deployed into various political units in the state.
According to a statement signed by the Governor’s spokesperson, Kelvin Ebiri, the advisers will play a pivotal role in the administration.
“In addition to the 14,000 advisers, Governor Wike has also appointed 319 Ward Liaison Officers and 40 Local Government Area Liaison Officers,” Mr Ebiri said.
“The appointments are with immediate effect.”
