Ini Edo begins UN work in earnest

April 23 will always be ever green in the mind of actress and UN Habitat Youth Envoy, Ini Edo and those who accompany her to Dustbin Estate in Ajegunle Area of Lagos.


Her visit to LOTS Foundation at Dustbin Estate coincided with her birthday hence the gifts packs, t-shirts, food and gift items to the community leaders.  But according to her publicist, Platform PR, the
essence of the visit is not just birthday. ‘Ini was appointed alongside two others (one Nollywood actor and one Bollywood actor) as ambassadors of the United Nation.

Her responsibilities according to www.unhabitat.org are to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all in Nigeria and Africa as a
whole.
 
Speaking on this new role Ini said ‘being named a Special Youth Envoy for UN is one of the most interesting moments of my life, I know this ambassadorial role is not going to be an easy task, but it is a call to responsibility. Beyond acting and making people happy on the screen, we need to learn to stretch our hands and touch people’s lives.

Re Anonymous.
Why do you think stars sign their authograph for people, or why do you think artists throw their stuffs into the crowd while performing? it is because they want to extend the connection with their fans after they have left PR or not. i dont think it is a bad thing at all that the children are wearing shirts with Ini Edo's pic on it. the most inportant thing is that someone remembered those children and this time around the person is Ini Edo.
it is important that we learn to celebrate our own.

Gosh, ur comments just reek of hatred and jealousy. It's sickening.What have you done for your country or for yourselves. You just can't stand that she is successful. The more you hate, the more she will soar. God bless you Ini.
