In a remarkable display of support for Nigeria’s creative industry, billionaire philanthropist and politician Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, together with 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 state-of-the-art 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 stressed the importance of creating more structured, long-running series that not only entertain but also serve as platforms for nurturing emerging talent across the country.
“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.
Standing proudly beside him, Regina Daniels brought her star power and steadfast support to the initiative, earning widespread praise from fans, stakeholders, and industry leaders.
Many lauded the couple’s shared commitment to the growth and development of Nigeria’s film industry.
The event has sparked a renewed sense of optimism within Nollywood, with many observers describing it as a timely and visionary move to rejuvenate local storytelling and expand Nigeria’s cultural footprint on the global stage.
