BBNaija star appointed as Edo governor’s Special Adviser

Anto urges celebrities appointed to government positions to return to their states and serve their people.

Former BBNaija housemate Anto announces her new role in Edo State and invites the public to share tourism and creative economy ideas.

Anto announced the appointment in an Instagram post, where she expressed gratitude to the governor and other officials for their support and the opportunity to serve her state.

“Thank you HE Senator Monday Okpebholo [@he_mondayokpebholo] for the opportunity to continue serving Edo people, now as Special Adviser on Tourism and Creative Economy. Thanks to my Chairman and the SSG [@musa.ikhilor] for their strong support through this journey. In just little over a year, I’ve been given a promotion to do more for my state, and I am extremely grateful,” she wrote.

The reality TV star also encouraged other celebrities appointed to public offices by state governors to take their responsibilities seriously and contribute to the development of their communities.

“I will also like to remind my fellow public figures/celebrities that have been appointed by governors to please truly answer the call and do the job. I know how difficult it might be to leave the comfort of your homes and go back to your states, but your people need you and the work is rewarding,” she added.
