Another Day Of Glory For Taiwo Ajai- Lycett

VETERAN actress, journalist and television presenter, Taiwo Ajai- Lycett was honoured with the Industry Merit Award at the 8th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards ( AMVCA) last weekend in Lagos.

The AMVCA continued its tradition of recognising veterans in the film industry, who have, in no small way contributed to the development of the African film and television industry.

The veteran actress admitted to being short of words as she received the AMVCA award that solidifies her status in Nollywood’s Hall of Fame.

She joins other industry stalwarts to have clinched the award. They include Olu Jacobs, Pete Edochie, Amaka Igwe, Bukky Ajayi, Sadiq Daba, Chika Okpala, Tunde Kelani and Peter Igho.

“I’ve lived to carry this. This is a major surprise to me. I’ve been to places but there’s no place like home,” the legendary filmmaker said.

Her statement made a case for honouring our legends while they are still alive.

Her Nollywood portfolio boasts of films and series such as Dazzling Mirage, Oloibiri, Madam President and more recently, King of Boys: The Return of the King.
