Though many came to know her during her time on Big Brother Naija, Anto has long stepped beyond the expectations that often come with reality TV. Over the years, she has worked across industries — from sports development to film production — taking on roles that blend storytelling, strategy, and a deep appreciation for Nigeria’s cultural landscape.

Now, she’s returning to her roots in Edo State with a mission that is as personal as it is professional.

Announcing the appointment on Instagram, Anto Lecky shared her excitement, writing, “With the return of our priceless Benin Bronzes, upcoming museum projects, and a growing creative sector, Edo is poised to become a leader in Nigeria’s tourism and cultural economy. I am honoured to serve my state and my country.”

This new chapter comes at a time when Edo State is actively investing in its creative future with historical artefacts returning home, a deeper focus on cultural preservation, and growing global interest in local tourism. Anto’s background, both at home and abroad, uniquely positions her to play a meaningful role in that work.

It’s also a significant moment for visibility. For the young women, creatives, and those who often feel overlooked in public service, Anto’s appointment is a reminder that you can show up fully as yourself in your own lane, in your own time, and still lead, still matter, still make impact.

Her presence in government, backed by years of diverse experience, is not just symbolic; it’s strategic. And it serves as a reminder that culture isn’t just something we consume. It’s something we can shape, protect, and lead through.

Former Big Brother Nigeria housemate, Anto Lecky, took to Instagram to share photos of herself dressed as her favorite Nigerian celebrities to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Speaking on the rationale behind the photo project, Anto took to Instagram to state:

This International Women’s Day, I pay tribute to some Nigerian women who inspire me professionally and personally, who have been able to break barriers professionally, while dealing with personal issues impeccably. You should know who all of these women are already and if you don’t, now you do! Please research these and more women because they can inspire you as well.
I get asked if I’m a feminist. I’m more than a feminist; woman was brought to this world because man NEEDED her, woman brings LIFE to this world. Life CANNOT go one without woman. The sooner we all, women and men, accept this, we will reach gender equality.
