The request of governor Ben Ayade of Cross Rivers State to increase the number of his Special Advisers to 70 has been granted him by the State House of Assembly, NAN is reporting.
The governor had in December 2019 appointed 70 aides and the new appointees would increase the number of political aides to 140.
The House in a motion, filed by its leader, Peter Odey, and seconded by the Deputy Leader, Fred Osim, unanimously resolved and granted consequential approval to the request. Odey said the approval was based on the Assembly’s earlier request to Ayade through writing, on the need to cover other constituencies not yet considered in the appointments.
