Nollywood Past Presidents and the Crises

 Nollywood, or rather the umbrella governing body, AGN just like any other organization have had it own fair share of leadership crises. It might interest you to know the past presidents before the crises came up. Veteran actor, Zack Orji came first in the role-call of past presidents, followed by Ejike Asiegbu, and then Kanayo O Kanayo. It was during the tenure of Segun Arinze that crises erupted with Emeka Ike setting up a factional presidency while Ibinabo Fiberesima, the first and only female president held on to the position at the other end as soon as Segun Arinze resigned due to the crises. At this point it took the judgement of a Law Court to discharge Emeka Ike while Ibinabo was knocked off with an election which brought in the incumbent president, Emeka Rollas. AGN, Nollywood has been sailing like ship ever since then with the return of Actors Week, Actor Night and other functions which unites the organization. Emeka Rollas who is on a second tenure has also inaugurated new EXCOS who are believed to be part of Nollywood, or rather the umbrella governing bother AGN,.
