Rivers State Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike yesterday swore in 39 special advisers.
Wike also swore in a new permanent secretary, Mr Paulinus Nsirim, as part of the process of re-positioning the state civil service.
Performing the swearing-in of the special advisers and permanent secretary at the Government House Port Harcourt, Governor Wike charged the appointees to see their appointments as a call to service.
He said, “There is no money to be made in government. What you have is the opportunity to be part of those transforming the state for the good of the people.”
Wike had earlier relieved his special advisers of their appointments, leaving only the Special Adviser on Religious Matters. Amongst the 39 special advisers, five are newly appointed.
