Phyna intends to collaborate with the state government as the young ambassador to combat drug misuse and human trafficking.
With a new appointment in Edo State, Phyna, the Season 7 winner of the reality television program BBNaija, has added her name to the expanding list of BBNaija alumni political appointments. She received a new name from the Esama of Benin in addition to her new position. She was referred to by the king as "Olokunameh," which is Arabic for "The goddess of riches."
The reality TV star shared the good news via her official Instagram page yesterday, November 9, 2022. “Through the commissioner of youths and sports, the governor of Edo state announced me as the incoming Mid East (Edo/delta) youth ambassador. Gloryyyy.”, she wrote.
According to the Nigerian Observer, she intends to utilize her foundation as a young ambassador to work with the state government to engage in agriculture and manufacturing, fight against drug misuse and human trafficking, and promote education.
The state government is thrilled to partner with Phyna to realize vision 2050, according to the Commissioner for Youth and Gender Issues, Hon. Andrew Adaze Emwanta Esq. JP, who spoke on behalf of the Governor, Mr. Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki.
In his words, “As a government, we do not take issues of Youth development for granted and as you can see the governor has appointed a young person to this Ministry, not just a department of Youth but we also have gender. We are happy with what you want to do in the area of human trafficking, drug abuse, agriculture and fabrication. It is not everybody who wins the star prize that will have this kind of idea. Be rest assured that Edo State will be ready to support you.”
This is the latest in a series of good news for the influencer-turned-youth ambassador. She recently bagged a deal with a luxury skincare brand.
Making the announcement on her page, she said, “It’s a great privilege to announce to you all that I am now the brand ambassador to Rixari skin secrets @rixariskinsecrets. Having to maintain flawless skin has been a priority for me and Rixari Skin Secrets does a magnificent job, it is time to experience that flawless skin.”
The winner of the "Shine Ya Eye" competition, Hazel Onoduenyi, commonly known as Whitemoney, gets a political appointment, much as Phyna. On Friday, November 19, 2021, Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi designated him as the region's ambassador for the arts.
