Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has appointed another prominent figure from the Nigerian film industry to his executive team, continuing a trend of engaging Nollywood personalities in state government roles.
This latest appointment follows a move made in September, when the governor named popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker Eucharia Anunobi as his senior special assistant on women's mobilisation for the Enugu North District.
The decision to bring Anunobi into the gubernatorial structure was previously reported by Premium Times, highlighting the administration's strategy of leveraging celebrity influence for political and social engagement.
By appointing figures from the entertainment sector, the Enugu State government appears to be diversifying its approach to public mobilisation and outreach, utilizing the widespread reach and public appeal of Nollywood stars.
These appointments mark a notable shift in how state-level political offices in Nigeria are being staffed, with an increasing number of administrations turning to media and entertainment industry leaders to serve in advisory and mobilisation capacities.
