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.”

several awards including the Best Actress (Africa Magic Viewers Choice
Award), Best Actress (AMAA), Nigeria Entertainment Award, Golden Icons
