In a remarkable display of support for Nigeria’s creative industry, billionaire philanthropist and Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, alongside his wife and Nollywood star Regina Daniels, took center stage at the official commissioning of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) national secretariat and the launch of its cutting-edge multipurpose app.
As Chairman of the AGN Board of Patrons, Prince Nwoko used the occasion to call for a renaissance in Nigerian television content.
He emphasized the need for structured, long-running series that not only entertain but also serve as vital platforms for nurturing emerging talent nationwide.
“Nollywood is rich with passion and potential. With just a little more investment and structure, our stories can not only reflect our culture but compete favourably on the global stage,” Nwoko stated.
Regina Daniels, standing proudly by her husband, added her star power and unwavering support to the initiative, drawing widespread admiration from fans, stakeholders, and industry leaders alike.
The couple’s united commitment to the growth and development of Nigeria’s film industry was met with resounding applause, igniting renewed optimism within Nollywood.
Many have described the moment as a visionary step toward revitalizing local storytelling and expanding Nigeria’s cultural imprint globally.
