Clem Ohameze: Actors Guild Reacts To Pastor Fufeyin's N8 Million Gift

The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has reacted to Pastor Jeremiah Fufeyin's N8 million gift to ailing Nollywood star Clem Ohameze.

Ohameze, who recently disclosed that he plans to undergo surgery to remove the pressure on his spine, was seen in the aforementioned clergyman's church where he was given the sum of eight million naira for the procedure.

Responding to the development, the AGN in a press release made available to AllNews Nigeria commended Pastor Fufeyin for his financial assistance.

The body also stated its recognition of the right of its members to solicit help from external sources to solve personal issues and revealed that Fufeyin has been of assistance in that regard since the inception of his ministry.

AGN was also quick to point out that individual members seeking help from other sources doesn't mean that the body has failed to provide adequate welfare packages for members.

"As stated earlier in some of our bulletins, one of the major focal areas under the welfare packages of this present administration is the healthcare of members.

"The Guild is also in partnership with Ruzu Wholistic Healthcare Company for free alternative medical treatment for members with ailments that defile orthodox medications.
