Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has appointed Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko as Senior Special Assistant on Youth Engagement and the Creative Economy.
The appointment was announced last Sunday, with congratulatory flyers bearing the Enugu State Government seal circulating on social media.
Etiko subsequently acknowledged the development on Instagram, responding to a congratulatory message from fellow actress Sarah Martins.
The appointment places Etiko in a government role focused on youth engagement and the creative economy, a sector in which she has built a career as an actress.
The announcement was initially shared by Martins, who posted a congratulatory message to Etiko on Instagram. The actress reposted the message on her Instagram story, writing, “Congratulations my drama doll @destinyetikoofficial.”
Etiko responded to Martins’ message with the words, “My love, I appreciate you,” acknowledging the congratulatory gesture and confirming the appointment.
Etiko, who hails from Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, is known for her roles in Nollywood productions and her strong presence on social media.
The development also comes shortly after another Nollywood actress, Rachael Okonkwo, popularly known as Nkoli Nwa Nsukka, was appointed by Mbah as Senior Special Assistant on Films and the Creative Industry.
