Nollywood actress, Destiny Etiko, has announced her appointment as Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Youth Engagement and Creative Economy to Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State.
Etiko shared the development on her Instagram page on Monday, attracting congratulatory messages from colleagues and fans in the entertainment industry.
Among those who congratulated her was social media personality Nwa Zubbymicheal, who commented, “Congratulations unlimited Nwa”.
Another actress, Georgina Ibeh, also congratulated her, describing her as “Honourable” and saying the appointment was well deserved.
Earlier, actress Sarah Martins had also celebrated Etiko in an Instagram post, describing the appointment as well deserved.
Responding to Martins, Etiko wrote, “My love, I appreciate you”.
Other entertainment personalities, including Ikpechukwu Nweke and Evan Okoro, also joined in celebrating the actress.
Etiko, who hails from Udi Local Government Area of the state, gained prominence in Nollywood following her appearance in the 2014 movie, Idemili.
She has since featured in several Nigerian films and established herself as an actress and filmmaker.
Her appointment comes shortly after fellow Nollywood actress, Rachael Okonkwo, popularly known as Nkoli Nwa Nsukka, was appointed SSA on Films and Creative Industries by the State Government. (NAN)
