Nollywood’s AGN Bids Farewell To Film Industry Association

Published

on

 

The Actors Guild of Nigeria has declared its withdrawal from the Federation of Registered Nollywood Guilds and Associations (FRENGAN), highlighting its priority on members’ growth, development, and welfare as the main reason for the decision.

 

The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, conveyed this decision in a letter addressed to the leadership of FREGAN on Monday.

 

The letter reads “After careful consideration of suggestions and opinions expressed by our members and stakeholders on AGN’s membership in FRENGAN, the National Executive Council has regrettably resolved to withdraw AGN’s membership from the body.

 

“This is to enable the Executive Council to focus on the growth, development, and welfare of members as we presently operate as service contractors, meaning that we fall short of labour protection with no access to social security.

 

“However since filmmaking is a collaborative effort, we shall continue to support and promote sound and articulate industrial relationships among all the guilds and associations.

 

“We shall continue to uphold fair contractual practices and a regulatory environment to improve the livelihoods of our members while making the future of our industry more sustainable.” it added

 

Nevertheless, the AGN reassured its commitment to fostering robust industrial relationships among all guilds and associations within the Nigerian film industry.

 

FRENGAN serves as the overarching entity for registered guilds, including members such as the Association of Movie Producers (AMP) and the Directors Guild of Nigeria (DGN).

 

Additional affiliations under this coalition encompass the Movie Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPAN), the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria (TAMPAN), among others.

Fulham midfielder, Alex Iwobi has expanded his creative pursuits, releasing a second single titled “What’s Luv?”.

This follows the success of his debut track “Don’t Shoot”, marking Iwobi as the first Premier League footballer to enter the music scene with his name and face attached to his music.

Known for his skill on the pitch with over 260 top-flight appearances, Iwobi is now sharing his off-field passion with fans and listeners.

“Music has always been a passion of mine,” Iwobi shared. “It’s a way for me to express myself away from football. Music is a great tool, and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel.”

Iwobi, who grew up in a challenging area of London, said he wants his music to inspire young people to focus on positive goals, showing them they don’t need to fit into one mold. Through his community work and his creative projects, Iwobi aims to provide a message of resilience and self-expression.

“Growing up, I know how hard it can be,” he said. “Alongside the work we do in the community, I hope that my music shows young people they can pursue different passions. Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football; it actually helps me switch off.”

With “What’s Luv?”, Iwobi continues to encourage a positive narrative for youth, using his platform as both a Premier League player and a musician to inspire others to follow their dreams and make productive choices.
