Enugu Governor Peter Mbah Appoints Destiny Etiko As Senior Special Assistant

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has appointed popular Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko as a senior special assistant. According to reports, she is the third Nollywood actress to receive an appointment from the state governor.

Etiko was named Senior Special Assistant on Youth Engagement and the Creative Economy. Her appointment was disclosed following recent announcements of similar government positions given to figures from the entertainment industry.

Following the announcement, the actress shared her reaction on social media. She wrote, "With profound gratitude and humility, I am honoured to announce my appointment as Senior Special Assistant to the Executive Governor of Enugu State on Youth Engagement and Creative Economy."

She further expressed her appreciation to the state leader for the opportunity. She wrote, "My heartfelt appreciation goes to His Excellency, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, for this confidence and opportunity to serve."

Etiko also spoke about her readiness to take on the new duties assigned to her office. She wrote, "I embrace this responsibility with pride, humility and a determination to make a meaningful impact."

This development follows other appointments made by the Enugu State government in the previous months. Governor Mbah previously appointed actress Rachael Okonkwo as Senior Special Assistant on Film and Creative Industry Development.

In addition, veteran actress Eucharia Anunobi was appointed as Special Assistant on Women Mobilisation for the Enugu-North Zone. Those announcements were made by the state administration in September before the latest appointment of Etiko.
