Following the death of prolific film producer, Chico Maziakpono Ejiro, Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, has expressed shock and sadness over the occurrence.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, in Abuja, Omo-Agege said that the exceptional movie director and producer was a pillar of productivity in Nollywood which skyrocketed Nigerian films globally.
He noted that while the death of Chico Ejiro is painful, solace must be taken in his exceptional impact and productivity as a movie director, screenwriter, and producer who excelled in his chosen field.
Omo-Agege stressed that even with limited technical resources in the 1990s, Chico Ejiro who originally studied Agricultural Science blazed a trail by shooting scores of movies within very short periods, sometimes as short as three days.
