The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Dr Emeka Rollas, has expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for intervening in the health of Nollywood actor Zack Orji, who recently travelled to the United Kingdom for a post-surgery assessment.
In a statement on Saturday, Rollas thanked President Tinubu for his fatherly attention to the creative industry, and also commended the First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, for her motherly care towards the veteran actor.
The Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, was also lauded for her efforts in ensuring Orji’s quick recovery.
The AGN president said Zack Orji was grateful to his longtime friend, Ahmed Bala, for standing by him throughout the period.
“We have witnessed the unprecedented support that President Tinubu is giving to the creative industry”, he said.
“This has clearly shown his clear determination to uplift the sector to be more relevant and beneficial to both the practitioners and the national economy and we find it necessary to appreciate him.
“We also appreciate the Minister for Women Affair, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, for her relentless efforts in ensuring that Zack Orji gets back on his feet hale and hearty.
“Zack Orji equally extends his profound gratitude to his longtime friend, Ahmed Bala, for standing by him all through the period”.
