February 01, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Joke Silva, has become a member of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Board of Trustees (BoT).
Chairman of the Board, Emmanuel Ogugua, made the announcement during an actors’ event in Lagos.
According to him, the inclusion of Silva was a result of the board’s expansion. He added that she would be representing the Southwest as the first and only female on the board since its establishment.
While reacting to the development, Silva appreciated the chairman and other members for the honour.
“For a female, it is about time. Thank you for the honour. This guild is one of the most important pillars in the acting sector of the entertainment industry. The late Amaka Igwe said there are two pillars in the performance industry: cameramen and actors.
“This guild is a passion for me. It is one of the pillars that will galvanize the industry for improved and increased productivity. I will do my best to get to the level the Lord allows us to reach. I am honoured,” she stated.
