A Non Governmental Organization (NGO) known as Enemona Josh Humanitarian Foundation has unveiled Nollywood Actor, Ken Erics and Veteran Igala Gospel Minster, Abigail Omonu as its brand ambassadors at a colorful event in Abuja on Monday.
President of the Foundation, Ambassador Gabriel Onoja while speaking at the ceremony, said the choice of the two creative actors were carefully arrived at following their track record of commitment, creativity in their arts, modest life and his personal conviction that the duo have what it takes to deliver on their mandate.
Onoja noted that the engagement of the brand ambassadors will enable them to use their talents to mentor Kogi youths, thereby diverting their attention from crime, drugs, cultism and other social vices that are currently prevalent in the society.
The choice of our veteran Nollywood actor, Ken Erics is strategic to use at the foundation because of his wide acceptability, modesty, responsible personality, and finesse on stage and also for his requisite capacity to deliver on our mandate of mentoring our youths.
“We look forward in a hurry to receiving him at our tertiary institutions in Kogi State and other creative act organizations where he is expected to meet and mentor our rough talents to well refined and finished commercially branded creative talents”
Gabriel Onoja stated that the creative sector is one that has contributed greatly to the Gross Domestic Product of Nigeria with little contribution from the government, hence his desire to channel his resources to the sector to empower thousands of Kogi youths he said are talented in various ways.
Already we are concluding arrangements to reach out to various institutions of higher learning where Theater Arts and Performing Arts are studied as a course to create a platform where Ken will interact with them and open their eyes to the opportunities inherent in the sector.
