The Secretary to Rivers State Government, Prof. Ibibia Worika, has called on residents of the state to be wary of fake news peddlers.
Worika said the authors of such fake reports are not only intended to misinform the people but to heat the polity.
He also refuted reports of the appointment of the former Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area, Dr Samuel Nwanosike as the new Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency.
This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Saturday by the Head Press Unit, Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Julianna Masi, and sent to newsmen.
The SSG categorically refuted Nwanosike’s appointment and the purported approval for the recruitment of 10,000 persons into the state civil service.
Worika described the reports as fake and unfounded and urged members of the public to disregard such speculations.
He urged residents and people of the state to rely only on official Government sources for accurate information.
The statement partly reads, “We wish to categorically inform the good people of Rivers State and the general public to ignore the fake announcements.
“Be informed that all official communications from the Office of the Administrator of Rivers State have appropriate channels through which they are circulated, and pay attention to such channels.
“The Government remains steadfast in its pursuit of a peaceful, prosperous and united state.”
