Aare Gani Adams, Others For Recognition As Nollywood Thespian Marks Golden Jubilee

Otunba Gani Adams and other notable Nigerians will receive awards from renowned actor, Olusegun Akinremi, aka Chief Kanran, as he celebrates his 50 years on stage this month end.

Akinremi told the News Agency of Nigeria that other recipients for awards at the event scheduled for November 26 would include: Tayo Shobola, Olushola Adekoya and Hon. Razak Ajala.

They would be given Ori Festival of Colours and Arts Awards as custodians of arts and their contributions to the development of the country, Akinremi said.

He said he was grateful to God for sparing his life to achieve great feats in his chosen career and mark his golden jubilee as an actor.

The actor said his company, the Arts Heroes Limited, would also lay the foundations of African and modern structures for shooting of movies on a 76-hectare of land donated to it some years ago by a philanthropist.

He said that the structure would serve as a film village that would relief actors of the stress of renting choice apartments as locations to shoot their movies.

Akinremi said: “We want the celebration to go along with the launch of our 76 hectares of land at Ado Awaye, Oyo State and give awards to Nigerians who have been instrumental to the development of the country.

“We intend to make the place a city for artistes, there will be hotels, banks, superstores, mobile toilets and lots more, we will make sure that security is worked on
