THE launching/Induction of fellows into
the Movie and Music Hall of Fame is under way, and from the
grapevine, eminent Nigerians including former presidents, Minister of
Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, chairman of DAAR
Communications, Raymond Dokpesi, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce will all be
inducted as members and grand patrons respectively.
Also, to be inducted at the event,
which holds next month at the National Arts Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos,
include the Oba of Owu, Sanya Dosumu, who was the original producer
of the popular TV drama, “Village Head Master”, Senator Godswill
Akpabio, Prince Tony Momoh, among others. But specifically, the
highpoint of the event will be the induction of Governor Akinwunmi
Ambode of Lagos State as the life patron of the movie/music hall of
fame.
Sources close to the founder, Chief
Eddie Ugbomah, said the movie and music Hall of Fame will be
temporarily located at Surulere. This is a welcome development, and
there’s need for the Lagos State government and parastatals under
the Ministry of Information and Culture to support the laudable
project. Recall that the front-line film maker, unveiled the movie
and music Hall of Fame last year, while celebrating his 76th birthday
anniversary.
