- Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has been appointed Senior Special Assistant on Youth Engagement and Creative Economy by Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah.
- The news became public on November 8, 2026, prompting congratulations and reactions on social media.
Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has secured a political appointment in Enugu State, following her selection as Senior Special Assistant on Youth Engagement and Creative Economy by Governor Peter Mbah.
The development became public on Sunday, November 8, 2026, and has since generated congratulatory messages and reactions across social media.
Destiny Etiko, who is from Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, personally acknowledged the appointment while responding to a congratulatory message shared by her colleague, Sarah Martins.
Her appointment comes shortly after another Nollywood actress, Rachael Okonkwo, was named Senior Special Assistant on Films and Creative Industries by the Mbah administration in early November.
Etiko had openly expressed support for Governor Peter Mbah during his campaign ahead of the 2023 Enugu State governorship election. Her latest appointment has therefore attracted attention, with many viewing it as a continuation of her relationship with the governor.
The actress rose to prominence in Nollywood after featuring in the 2014 movie Idemili. She has since established herself in the Nigerian film industry, building a successful career as an actress and filmmaker.
Meanwhile, her appointment has sparked mixed reactions online. While several fans and colleagues have congratulated her, others have questioned the growing involvement of entertainers in political appointments.
