He was one of the first to move office from Surulere to highbrow Lekki and where he discovered stars like Desmond Elliot, Empress Njamah, Grace Amah and others. As one of the earliest to get corporate organisations to support Nollywood initiatives, Charles was the man behind The Covenant Church, the movie that tells the story of one of the most influential men in the world, Pastor E.A. Adeboye and Redeem Christian Church of God.

He was the man that also made it possible for Dakore Egbuson and Richard Mofe Damijo act together for the first time in “Caught in the middle”.

Today Charles returns to the centre stage with a new reality that will have 25 winners.
