The Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, has appointed 192 special assistants.
A statement issued on Friday by the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, said the appointees were picked from the 192 electoral wards in the state.
He said the appointments were a true reflection of the “inclusive and participatory governance” in the state.
The appointees were nominated and screened at the wards before their names were submitted to the state government for the appointment.
The statement said the appointees will have offices at their wards where they will help the state government connect with the people in the rural areas.
