Amaka Igwe |
Aside the uncontrollable tears from her colleagues in Nollywood, the
AfricaMagic family is also lamenting and mourning the painful exit.
The leading pay TV content provider said it is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the iconic Nigerian
film and TV producer Mrs. Amaka Igwe.
"The African creative arts industry has
lost an admired and respected leader whose vast knowledge, proven business
acumen and boundless imagination made an immeasurable contribution to the
development and success of our community". They told SHOWBIZPLUSng in a press statement.
The statement further said, Mrs. Igwe will be remembered
for her numerous accomplishments, most notably in creating widely popular,
highly entertaining programming that resonated with audiences across this
continent, and throughout the Diaspora.
A tireless champion for content made in
Africa for Africans by Africans, Mrs. Igwe has left
behind an enormous legacy built on skill, talent, determination and
vision. AfricaMagic extends its sincere
condolences to her husband, her children, her family and friends during this
difficult time, and will honour Mrs. Igwe’s memory by screening a collection of
her most beloved works in the days and weeks ahead. M-Net West Africa Regional
Director Wangi Mba-Ukouwa confirmed the special tribute saying, ‘Amaka Igwe was
a giant in our world, a loyal supporter, a committed professional and a valued
partner. We will commemorate her achievements and her prolific passion for
storytelling in the way that best benefits her esteemed stature – by dedicating
time on our channels to her memory as a testament to her many achievements.’
Information on tribute programming will be communicated shortly, both across
the AfricaMagic channels and on its website www.africamagic.tv
