The Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has pulled out of the Federation of Registered Nollywood Guilds and Association, citing focusing on the growth, development and welfare of it’s members as main reasons for withdrawing from the apex body in Nollywood.

In a letter addressed to the leadership of FREGAN and dated Friday, October 14, 2023, the guild through its National President, Chief Emeka Rollas said the decision to exit from the association was reached after a careful consideration of suggestions and opinions as expressed by members and stakeholders on the guild’s membership of the body.

Rollas, however, assured that the guild will not only continue to support and promote sound and articulate industrial relationships among all the guilds and associations, but also, it will encourage fair contractual practices and a regulatory environment to improve the livelihood of their members while making the future of Nollywood more sustainable.

“This is to enable the Executive Council focus on the growth, development and welfare of members as we presently operate as service contractors, meaning that we fall short of labour protection with no access to social security.
