Veteran actor and administrator, Alhaji Abubakar Sanusi Yakubu has thrown his hat in the ring to contest the highest office of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN)
Formally declaring his intention to contest for the office of the President of the AGN, Yakubu has unveiled a bold vision to reposition the guild for greater impact.
Pledging to build on the achievements of past leaders while introducing fresh initiatives to strengthen the guild’s relevance and capacity, his agenda focuses on unionising the guild, creating empowerment opportunities for members, establishing strong institutional structures, and promoting unity among actors nationwide.
He said: “The time has come for the AGN to stand as a stronger, more inclusive, and people-oriented body that not only protects the interests of its members but also maximises the vast opportunities within Nollywood to empower actors and project Nigerian culture globally.”
Yakubu emphasised his commitment to transparency, accountability, and collaboration with key stakeholders in government and the private sector, noting that these partnerships would be critical in unlocking new opportunities for members.
Already, his declaration has stirred conversations within the motion picture industry circles, with many actors expressing optimism that his vision will bring renewed energy and direction to the AGN.
