Mercy Johnson Gets Political Appointment
Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, has been
appointed as the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Kogi State Governor
Yahaya Bello, on entertainment, arts and culture.
The mother of three was appointed along with 53 other Senior Special Assistants
to the governor into various offices in the administration.
A statement by the Secretary to the State
Government, Dr Mrs Ayoade Folashade Arike, states that the
appointments take effect from April 1.
According to the statement, the rationale for the
additional appointees at the state level is to “plug identified gaps in service
delivery, fill key positions with the right people and to broaden inclusiveness
in governance by bringing people from more communities on board.”
Okojie made her acting debut in the movie, The
Maid. To her credit, she has won several awards including the Best Actress
(Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award), Best Actress (AMAA), Nigeria Entertainment
Award, Golden Icons Academy Awards (GIAMA) and a host of others.
