The parish priest, Monsignor Gabriel Osu, in his speech, appealed to the Federal Government to create sustainable and accessible welfare for those in the entertainment industry.
“I want the government to show commitment to actors and actresses that are getting of age. Government should provide welfare packages for them. What I mean by welfare is all these little necessities of life that will be beneficial to those in the movie industry,” Osu said.
“I also want the government to find a way of providing insurance with incentives to members of the AGN,” he added.
Delta State Government in conjunction with the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) organized the candle-light tribute-night for the late actor. It turned out to be an assembly of stars.
One other eye catching sight was the duet of comedians, Juluis Agwu and Charles Inogie that took over the musical stage and rendered superlative gospel songs that kept the guests dancing and singing.
