AGN President Thanks Tinubu for Supporting Zack Orji’s Recovery

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated an accomplished journalist, Tunde Olusunle on his birthday.

The President, in a statement issued yesterday by his Media Adviser, wished Olusunle many more prosperous years in his endeavours.

Olusunle joined the Daily Times conglomerate in Lagos in 1990 and rose to the membership of the Editorial Board of the media organisation.

He did stints in the Kogi State public service between 1992 and 1997 and was, at various times, information, public affairs, and media director to three chief executives of the state.

The veteran journalist has published three successful poetry volumes: Fingermarks (1996); Rhythm Of The Mortar (2001), and A Medley Of Echoes (2022), as well as many essays.

He holds a doctorate degree in Media Arts and is a fellow of the Association of Nigerian Authors.

The president wished Olusunle many more prosperous years in his endeavours.

The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has thanked President Bola Tinubu for his support towards the recovery of veteran actor, Zack Orji, who has travelled to the United Kingdom for post-surgery assessment.

Rollas disclosed this in a statement by the Guild’s Senior Special Adviser Media/Press Secretary, Femi Durojaiye, shared on his Instagram page yesterday.

The statement read: “On behalf of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, the National President, Dr. Ejezie Emeka Rollas, has expressed deep appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for his fatherly intervention on the health of the former President of the Guild, Mr. Zack Orji, who has departed to the United Kingdom for post-surgery assessment.

“Dr. Rollas also commended the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her motherly care towards the veteran actor as well as the son of the President, Seyi

Tinubu, for his unflinching support.”

The statement also recognised the support of the Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy, and Orji’s longtime friend, Ahmed Bala, respectively, for their “relentless efforts in ensuring Zack Orji gets back on his feet hale” and “for standing by him all through the period.”

Rollas further thanked Tinubu for his efforts to uplift the creative industry.

The statement added:

“We have witnessed the unprecedented support that President Tinubu is giving to the creative industry which has clearly shown his determination to uplift the sector to be more relevant and beneficial to both the practitioners and the national economy and we find it necessary to appreciate him.”

The AGN president had last week disclosed that Orji underwent two successful brain surgeries and refuted rumours of the death of the Nollywood actor.
