Enugu governor brings in another Nollywood star as aide

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has appointed Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko as a gubernatorial aide.

Ms Etiko is now the senior special assistant on Youth Engagement and Creative Economy to Mr Mbah.

She shared the news on her Facebook page on Monday.

The actress expressed gratitude to Mr Mbah for trusting her with this role.

"I pledge my unwavering loyalty, dedication, and commitment to your administration’s vision and the good people of Enugu State.

I embrace this responsibility with pride, humility and a determination to make a meaningful impact," she said.

It is not clear if Ms Etiko's appointment is new or if she is among the 101 aides appointed to different positions in September. These positions include special adviser, senior special assistant, and special assistant roles.

At 37 years old, Ms Etiko is the third Nollywood star to join Mr Mbah’s team recently.

Earlier reports from PREMIUM TIMES showed that the governor appointed another actress and filmmaker, Eucharia Aṅunobi, as his senior special assistant on women mobilisation for the Enugu North District in September.

Also, actress Rachael Okonkwo was appointed as Mr Mbah’s senior special assistant on Film and Creative Industry Development.
