The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has called on Nigerians and philanthropists to render financial support to veteran thespian Amechi Muonagor, who was recently diagnosed with kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Emeka Rollas, AGN’s national president, posted an appeal on Instagram.
Mr Rollas displayed a picture of his visit to the ailing actor alongside other colleagues.
He said though the AGN had approved some money to be sent to him from the guild’s trust fund, more financial assistance would still be needed.
Mr Rollas stated, “Few days ago I led few of my colleagues and one of our National Patrons, High Chief Ejiamatu Nwokeabia to check on Amaechi Muonagor. He is in high spirits as witnessed by the people who accompanied me.
“I have approved some money to be sent to his account from the AGN TRUST FUND, which may obviously not be enough due to his records with the Guild HMO & Insurance policy.”
The AGN president added, “I, therefore, use this medium to appeal to young actors to sign up for the AGN HMO and Insurance programmes.
“All fans and well-wishers of Amechi Muonagor should join hands with other philanthropic Nigerians to support him in this dire time of need.”
