Late Bambino’s family gets N700,000 gift support

Late actor, Chukwudi Bambino’s family was on Friday gifted with a N700,000 cash support to help the family following the death of the breadwinner.

Presenting a cheque of N700,000, Emeka Rollas, President, Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) is of the view it is the duty of actors to rally round their own especially in the time of need. A position he has always taken since assuming the leadership of the guild.

It was gathered that the money was raised through the AGN member donations to the welfare of the children of the late Bambino.

Bambino’s wife who is still in mourning appreciated the gesture and thanked the body for their kindness and promised to make judicious use of the money.

Rollas re-iterated his commitment to the guild as he called on actors to support the AGN foundation which was recently launched to cater for ailing actors.

“This is the first time the AGN is doing this. This is a new administration and we are geared towards making sure that the welfare of our members is paramount. We are making arrangement to form a co-operative society among members so that during death, we can make members benefit from what they are earning as actors,” Rollas said.
