More people are billed to benefit from the welfare and empowerment schemes popularly called stomach infrastructure of the Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike.
A statement on Thursday by the Governor’s Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, said the Governor has upgraded the appointment of Special Assistants on Political Units from 28,000 to 50,000, which takes immediate effect.
While commissioning a road project at the GRA axis of the State on March 1, Wike had declared that henceforth his administration would focus on stomach infrastructure because he has delivered enough physical projects.
His words: “Now that we have done virtually everything we have promised Rivers people, this is the time now we have to play politics of stomach infrastructure”.
