She has previously starred in films such as ‘Saving My Marriage,’ ‘Hunting the Angel,’ ‘Royal Ploy,’ and ‘The Cow Girls,’ working alongside industry veterans like Segun Arinze, Ngozi Ezeonu, Linda Osifo and Francis Duru.

Beyond acting, she is also a trained lawyer, entrepreneur and politician. In 2015, she joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) and made history as the first woman to declare a presidential ambition under the party in the 2023 elections before stepping down for Tinubu.

Recall that Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye was appointed as minister in August 2023, and removed alongside four others in a cabinet reshuffle on October 23, 2024.

She was replaced by Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, who was then the Minister of State for Police Affairs.
