The Imo State governor employs popular actress, Nkiru Sylvanus, as senior special assistant.

Governor  Anayo Rochas Okorocha of Imo state appoints popular Nollywood actress, Nkiru Sylvanus as Senior Special Assistant, Lagos Affairs.

Nkiru who is the winner of 2010 edition of Face Of Hope(Rochas Foundation) is among the 32 special assistants appointed by the state governor. She took the movie industry by storm with her ‘crying’ roles in "A Cry for Help" directed by Andy Amenechi and was catapulted to fame. Ever since, Nkiru Sylvanus Nwuzor has been playing the high stakes featuring in more movies after another in the lead category.

Nkiru is the second child and the first daughter of Mr and Mrs Sylvanus Nwuzor from Osisioma, Aba. Her father is a policeman serving in Owerri while mother is a midwife. Beyond the sentiment that the lady is from Abia State, this appointment or nomination should be relevant in boosting the Socio-Economic welfare of the people of Imo State.

Kanu Nwankwo former Arsenal, Inter Milan star, and former captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has been appointed Special Adviser on Sports in Imo state. Owerri born Kanu played for the state’s top club Iwuanyanwu Nationale (now Heartland FC) before he moved to Europe to pursue a professional career.

Rochas who was a special guest of honour at the gala dinner of the Kanu testimonal, announced Kanu’s appointment. Africa’s top stars like Samuel Eto’o Fils, Kolo Toure, ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, Rigobert Song, Michael Essien and Emmanuel Adebayor were present to pay tribute to Kanu, who will now focus on his club career as well as his heart foundation. "The Governor announced Kanu’s appointment at the gala dinner after the testimonial on Saturday," says Onyebuchi Abia, head of the Kanu Heart Foundation (KHF).
