Nigerian actress Eniola Badmus has commenced her duties as Special Assistant on Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas.
She confirmed her appointment in May and recently shared photos of herself and Abbas at a meeting with Senate President Godswill Akpabio at the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) in Abuja.
Badmus took to Instagram on Thursday to post the photos, marking her official start in the new role.
“This week @speakerabbas and President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio at the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), inaugurated the governing council of the institution, earlier this week in Abuja,” she wrote.
“NILDS, as the research and academic arm of the National Assembly, is a pillar of knowledge, a capacity-building powerhouse, and a think tank dedicated to advancing our legislative processes.
“NILDS’s mandate was to provide technical and analytical support as well as comprehensive, reliable legislative research to legislators, their aides, committees, and the bureaucracy of the legislative in Nigeria and beyond.
“Over the years, the Institute has significantly contributed to strengthening legislative institutions through its rigorous research, legislative support services, training program, and policy analysis.”
Badmus has received massive reception and recognition since she joined the movie industry in 2008.
The actress has been featured in several indigenous and English films. She has also won several awards in the course of her career including ‘Best Actress of the Year (Yoruba)’ in 2014.
