The governor has also appointed other aides with responsibilities spanning areas such as diaspora engagement, with the stated objective of building stronger connections and mobilising skills, ideas, investment and resources for Edo State’s development.
Against this backdrop, Luckie’s appointment represents an opportunity to contribute to a broader public-service agenda while bringing his professional experience and understanding of the media and entertainment space into government.

He has also extended his appreciation to his family, friends, colleagues, associates and everyone who has supported his journey through their encouragement, prayers and goodwill.
Indeed, this appointment is more than a personal milestone. It is an opportunity to serve, make a meaningful impact and contribute to building a brighter future for the people of Edo State.
From the vibrant media and entertainment community of Ibadan to a new responsibility in public service, we celebrate this new chapter and wish Luckie Smart Aburimen wisdom, strength and success as he takes on this important assignment.
Congratulations once again, our brother and one of us in the Ibadan media and entertainment industry.
