“The Nollywood industry is just not evolving, but still hanging in the air without adequate support, so a platform like Nollywood TV offers a platform to showcase our jobs more which cannot be achieved with this current situation.
“We need to move from getting crumbs from the rich man’s table to having a solid financial independence; Nollywood needs to push itself into heights at which other colleague industries are in the world like Hollywood.
“We want a next level development in Nollywood that will be a lasting legacy to be proud of, something that will outlast our generation to the unborn,” the actor added.
