The former Vice President made the assertion yesterday in a tribute to the Nollywood writer, producer and director of distinction.
In a statement by his Media Office in Abuja yesterday, Atiku expressed shock at the demise of Mrs. Igwe Eneh, who was a major player in the Nigerian movie industry.
Atiku recalled that Mrs. Igwe’s first major production, “Decrees of Fate” won four awards at the National Festival of Television Programmes in 1988. “Amaka (Igwe) was one of the pioneers of the movie industry. Her presence in Nollywood grew to become quite impressive as she amassed a number of well received movies,” Atiku said.
