Etiko described the appointment as a significant honour and a responsibility she was prepared to embrace with dedication, humility and a strong commitment to service.
“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 wrote.
The actress also expressed appreciation to Governor Mbah, acknowledging his confidence in her ability to contribute to the administration’s vision for Enugu State.
She specifically thanked the governor for the opportunity to serve, describing the appointment as one she deeply valued.
Etiko further pledged her loyalty and commitment to the administration, promising to support its policies and work towards advancing the interests of the people of the state.
“I pledge my unwavering loyalty, dedication and commitment to your administration’s vision and the good people of Enugu State,” she stated.
She added that she intended to approach the new responsibility with pride, humility and determination, emphasising her desire to make a meaningful impact through the office.
“I embrace this responsibility with pride, humility and a determination to make a meaningful impact,” the actress said.
The appointment brings the popular Nollywood figure into a public service role focused on youth engagement and the creative economy, two areas that have become increasingly important to Nigeria’s social and economic development.
Nigeria’s creative industry, which includes film, music, fashion, comedy and other entertainment-related businesses, has continued to provide opportunities for young people while contributing to the country’s cultural influence and economic activities.
Etiko’s new position is expected to place her within conversations around youth participation and the potential of creative talents in Enugu State.
However, details of her specific responsibilities, policy priorities and planned programmes have not yet been outlined in her public announcement.
The actress concluded her message by thanking the governor and expressing optimism about the future of the state.
“Together, let us turn talent into opportunity and vision into reality,” she wrote.
She also declared, “Our tomorrow is here,” while expressing hope for Enugu State.
Etiko’s announcement has drawn attention to her transition from the entertainment industry into a government-appointed role, adding a new dimension to her public profile beyond acting.
The appointment, as announced by the actress, marks another development at the intersection between Nigeria’s entertainment industry and public service.
