Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye Joins Nollywood After Political Career
Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the former Minister of Women Affairs in Nigeria, has ventured into the film industry, known as Nollywood.
This development follows her dismissal from the ministerial position, which was decided by President Bola Tinubu a few months prior.
In August 2023, Kennedy-Ohanenye took on the ministerial role but was removed during a cabinet shake-up on October 23, 2024.
At the age of 51, she is now turning her attention to acting, just a few months following her exit from government.
She made the announcement about her new career in a video posted on her X account, showcasing her latest work.
A lawyer and entrepreneur, Kennedy joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015 and notably became the first female presidential aspirant for the party in 2023, although she later opted to support Tinubu instead.
