Comic Yoruba Nollywood actor and President of the Theatre Arts and Movies Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr Latin, has given a reason why the union cannot help some ailing thespians in the movie industry.
The actor, during an interview on 32FM, Ibadan, said TAMPAN has spent over N10 million on actors with health challenges since he assumed the office of the president.
According to him, ailing actors who are seen begging for financial assistance on Television and radio are not active members of TAMPAN, hence the association cannot help them.
Mr Latin added that the movie association only assists active members that are faced with health challenges.
He said, “Since I became the President of TAMPAN, we have spent over N10million on actor’s health challenges. The ones you see going on TVor radio to beg for money are not active members of the association. We always come to the aid of all active members”.
