He further called on more corporate bodies to support AGN in whatever way they can, in order to move the industry to the next level. “In less than a year, Atlantic Overseas has done a lot for Nollywood alongside MORGON. We are using this opportunity to urge other corporate bodies to emulate Atlantic overseas, who is a true friend of Nollywood alongside MORGON”, Asiegbu declared.
He also thanked MORGON for always coming up with laudable initiatives that have always been beneficial to Nollywood and its practitioners. “I want to urge MORGON to keep the flag flying and to continue to report the activities of Nollywood objectively. I’m also of the view that MORGON and AGN is a friendship that will last forever”. Responding Mrs. Edith Elegboja, the General Manager of Atlantic Overseas who presented the items on behalf of her boss, thanked Asiegbu for accepting the items whole-heartedly on behalf of AGN.
Also speaking, MORGON national president, Azuh Amatus, hailed the bold move of Atlantic Overseas and also thanked their Patron, Mr. Andrien Gbinigie immensely, for accepting to endorse and bankroll the initiative.
