The National Executive Council of the Actors Guild of Nigeria has appointed Emmanuel Ehumadu as the chairman of the interim caretaker committee of the Abia chapter.

Emeka Rollas, national president of AGN, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

Mr Rollas also said Moira Mba would serve as the secretary.

He said, “It is the resolution of the National Executive Council of the Actors Guild of Nigeria to appoint Emmanuel Ehumadu as chairman, interim caretaker committee of Abia state chapter, with immediate effect.”

Mr Rollas said Mr Ehumadu was expected to take over the administration of the chapter and continue with the peace process in Abia to entrench lasting peace.

He said Mr Ehumadu was expected to hand over to an elected state executive when the election is conducted and perform other services as may be assigned to him in line with his position as chairman of the interim government.

“I urge Ehumadu to take this appointment with all seriousness because we believe in his ability and competence. However, this appointment is subject to termination for acts of insubordination, disobedience, indiscipline and any conduct in contrary to the constitution of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. I say congratulations,” he said.
