According to him, Nengi and Eradiri will work together in promoting the Girl Child in the state.
"Nengi is from the entertainment sector and as such she can function perfectly there. While Miss Eradiri will function in the education sector. This is for them to inspire and encourage young women from the state. It is wrong for people to speculate and politicise everything," he said.
