Association of Movie Producers confirms Amaka Igwe’s death…Mourns her passage


Amake Igwe


More tributes are pouring for the late amazon of Nollywood and leading female filmmaker, Amaka Igwe.
The Association of Movie Producers (AMP), where she was a Board of Trustees member, before her sudden and painful death, said it announced with staggering shock, the transition of Amaka Igwe , MFR, on the night of Monday, April 28, 2014.
In a signed statement sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng, AMP said her demise was a piece of news that has left their entire members worldwide and indeed Nollywood in freezing silence and too stunned for words.

Our hearts are laden with pain over the loss of  a titan, a  motion picture icon who gave our association, AMP and Nollywood a robust intellectual character. Amaka was a founding member of AMP and a pioneer member of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of AMP and worked assiduously to give our association a profound professional character founded on robust ideas and vision for development and emergence of a generation of thoroughbred professionals. We are still in shock and will make  further  statements later. Suffice to say however that her contribution to the development, growth, construction and reconstruction of Nollywood into a Nigerian and indeed African motion picture billboard and megaphone, will remain indelible. And for her amazing life and strides, we give God all the glory.”
