The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) held an election to bring in new National Executive Council members, who will assume responsibility for the organization’s direction for the following three years.

The new leadership was chosen on Tuesday night during the guild’s 2022 Nollywood Actors Summit, which took place in Benin City, Edo state, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

During the elections conducted at the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub, about 120 delegates representing 20 states cast ballots. Chairman of the NEC, Steve Eboh, and Emma Ogugua, the head of the guild’s board of trustees, oversaw the election.

Emeka Rollas, the guild’s current national president, was re-elected, while Nazareth Jesse, Marcus Maina, Bukky Fagbuyi, Clement Anigbo, and Moklese Osain will be vice presidents for the North-Central, North-East, South-West, South-East, and South-South regions, respectively.

While Chelsea Nwodo was elected as the guild’s Assistant Secretary, Abubakar Sanusi was successful in his effort to become the AGN Secretary-General.

Emeka Duru, who will serve as financial secretary, Oby Okafor, who will serve as treasurer, David Akuma, who will serve as director of guild services, and Kea Adams, who will serve as provost, are the other elected officials.

On behalf of the newly elected executives, Emeka stated that the new leadership will consolidate on the successes of the AGN in the last three years and be more committed to the welfare of members.
