UKINEBO Dare is managing director of Edo Jobs under Governor Godwin Obaseki’s administration. Until the ever-smiling Uki, as she’s fondly called, was thrown into the spotlight by her position in government, she was covertly making giant strides in the world of art and spoken words. Since her appointment, Uki has, unknowingly, continued to grow her influence in the state and beyond. According to a leading media executive, her influence and presence were the fulcrum that made the Edo State International Film Festival happen and a glowing success.
A team player with an unusual aura, Uki’s multifaceted abilities make her unique anywhere she collaborates or speaks. Her smile, those close to her say, is so disarming, infectious, and enchanting that many revel in her presence. Her doggedness, hard work, and ability to spot talents have earned her a standing ovation from the state governor.
