The well seasoned actress, Ini Edo who was recently appointed as the
special adviser to Akwa Ibom state
governor on matters of Tourism and also the
coordinator of the first ever Akwa Ibom
state festival also known as Ibomfest, coming up in December 2016.
She recently came out to debunk rumors that have been circulating around of her political appointment affecting her acting career.
In her words:
“I would like to state that my stint in
government won’t affect my career as an
actress. Since my appointment to serve
my state, i have been receiving calls from
producers and actors alike, to extend
their hands of fellowship in building the
Nigerian Project. Again, i have being
invited to play different roles in the movie
industry, so nothing has changed.
My work in government is basically to
assist my state Governor Mr Udom
Emmanuel in the area of tourism
development. This entails how as a state,
we can harness the rich tourism potential
into a world class money making venture
that will attract direct foreign
investment into the state and increase
tourism traffic into Akwa Ibom state.”
