In 2016, Ini Edo was appointed the Special Adviser on Tourism and Culture in Akwa Ibom state by the executive governor, Emmanuel Udoh . ...
According to reports, her tenure so far is said to be unproductive as nothing has been done to harness the state’s tourism potential. Nor has she implemented strategies aimed at creating awareness to promote its cultural heritage. An angry indigene had this to say about her performance:
”If put in proper use, the tourism sector alone can generate a lot of revenue for the government but the person in charge seems to be at a loss of what to do with the abundance of nature’s gift to the state. One cannot point to one project that the actress has embarked upon other than following the governor as a member of his entourage to functions which left many wondering if that is what her job entails. What is visible also is the constant flaunting of her body shape as a slim tea ambassador, an agitated Akwa-Ibomites complained.
He further, berated and equated Ini’s peeformance to that of the is governor’s. He said:
”Not just Ini Edo, the Udom Emmanuel government is almost two years too but nothing seems to be happening in that sector. It is high time the actress Ini Edo changes tactic and do the needful or else posterity will not be kind to her if she leaves government without any tangible achievement.”
