Bayelsa State government has removed former Big Brother Naija housemate, Rebecca Nengi Hampson as the Face of Bayelsa Girl Child.
Source recalls that the reality star was appointed as a senior special assistant to Governor Douye Diri in November 2020.
The development was confirmed by the 22-year-old reality TV star on her microblogging site account on Friday, November 6 while responding to congratulatory messages from fellow reality tv stars and fans.
