Halima Abubakar calls out Nollywood cliques over award snub

The Eko Star awards which held on Monday April 14, saw female directors, producers, costumiers, distributors, actresses and broadcasters get awarded for their impactful input to the film and television industry.

However, the event’s exclusion of celebrated Nollywood influencers like Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Mildred Okwo, Adesua Etomi-Wellington and Ruth Kadiri sparked online controversy after Kadiri accused the organizers of overlooking her film achievements. The actress and producer also blamed a Nollywood clique for the award snub.
