Enugu Governor Peter Mbah Appoints Actress Destiny Etiko as SSA

Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has been appointed Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Youth Engagement and Creative Economy by Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah.
Etiko, who hails from Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, becomes the third Nollywood actress to secure an appointment in the Mbah-led administration.
She joins fellow actresses Rachael Okonkwo, popularly known as Nkoli Nwa Nsukka, and veteran actress Eucharia Anunobi, who have also been given government responsibilities in the state.
Okonkwo was appointed Senior Special Assistant on Film and Creative Industry Development on September 21, 2026, alongside 100 other aides announced by the Secretary to the State Government, Chidiebere Onyia.
Anunobi, an actress and gospel minister, was appointed Special Assistant on Women Mobilisation for the Enugu North Zone. She announced her appointment on October 27.
While Etiko’s portfolio focuses on youth engagement and the creative economy, Okonkwo’s responsibilities centre on promoting film and developing the state’s creative industry.
Etiko’s appointment comes against the backdrop of her previous political support for Governor Mbah, whom she publicly endorsed during his campaign ahead of the 2023 governorship election.
Her inclusion further strengthens the presence of Nollywood personalities in the Enugu State Government’s administration.
