Let us come together as one to make Nollywood City a home for all. The streets of Nollywood City would be named after actors, even their children will benefit from it.

we would give five percent to all actors and actresses who would be among the first 1,000 people to purchase a building. We have already acquired 324 hectres of land in Kusaki, Abuja for the project. Together with my partners, you would see the seventh wonder on Nigerian soil.'
