Steve Eboh becomes AGN caretaker committee

In order to save the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, from imminent collapse after the court sacked its former president, Ibinabo Fiberesima,  the National Executive Council of the guild has appointed veteran actor, Steve Eboh to head its newly established caretaker committee. 

Steve and his team are to pilot the affairs of the guild for three months, during which they are expected toreconcile all warring fractions as well as conduct a credible election that will put the guild back on track.  

In a communique issued  at the end of the Chairmen/stakeholders/congress meeting of the guild, which held in Awka, Anambra State capital last Friday, the NEC said, the decision to set up a caretaker committee has become necessary following the need to save the guild from imminent collapse.  

"In the quest not to leave a lacuna in the governance of the Actors guild of Nigeria National Executive; the chairman of all the chairmen of the state chapters (Mr Agility Onwurah) in line with paragraph four of the judgment convened a congress on the above-mentioned date.

The essence of the meeting was to discuss and seek a lasting solution to the lingering crisis in the Guild and the need to constitute a solid structure to resuscitate the guild. The congress was attended by the chairmen, representatives and stakeholders. However, the deliberation was hinged on the judgment of March 2015 by the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos headed by Justice J.T. Tshoho. The provisions of the judgment were extensively deliberated upon by all taking special cognizance of the paragraph four which states that the 1st and 2nd defendant should surrender all paraphernalia of their offices to the guild,"the communique reads
