Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has appointed Gani Audu as his new Chief of Staff, a move aimed at strengthening the state’s governance and reform initiatives. The announcement was made by the Secretary to the State Government, Musa Umar Ikhilor, and took effect immediately.
Audu, born on August 18, 1969, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. He holds a Higher National Diploma (HND) from Auchi Polytechnic, a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) in Business Administration from Benson Idahosa University, and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Intelligence and Global Security from Baze University, Abuja, which he completed in 2024.
According to Ikhilor, Audu’s previous leadership roles will be a significant asset to the Governor’s administration. He served as the Chairman of the Etsako West Local Government Council from 2004 to 2010 and as a member of the Edo State House of Assembly from 2015 to 2023.
“Audu’s appointment is a strategic move to support the Governor in executing meaningful reforms that will benefit the people of Edo State,” Ikhilor stated.
