Nollywood actors Omoni Oboli, Uzor Arukwe, and Bambam have been specially recognized by the Presidency for their stellar performances in the hit romantic movie Love in Every Word, which has been making waves in the Nigerian film industry.
Fegho Umunubo, Special Assistant to the President (Office of the Vice President) on Digital and Creative Economy, celebrated the actors in a heartfelt congratulatory message on Friday, March 21.
In his message, Umunubo praised the trio for their remarkable talent, dedication, and for creating a film that resonated with audiences across Nigeria. He also highlighted the movie’s record-breaking viewership milestone.
“Huge congratulations to the incredibly talented @omonioboli on creating a masterpiece that has captivated the hearts of Nigerians!
