The national President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Emeka Rolla has expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for intervening in the health of actor Zack Orji, who recently travelled to the United Kingdom for a post-surgery assessment.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Mrf Rollas thanked 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 and Seyi Tinubu, the president’s son, for his unwavering support.
The minister for women affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, was also appreciated for her efforts in ensuring Orji’s quick recovery.
Emeka Rollas stated that 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.
“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 Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, for her relentless efforts in ensuring that Zack Orji gets back on his feet hale and hearty while he equally extends his profound gratitude to his longtime friend, Ahmed Bala, for standing by him all through the period,” the statement read in parts.
Zack, 64, slumped on December 29 2023 and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja, before he was transferred to a private hospital for surgery.
