President Muhammadu Buhari has said the death of Founder/Chief Executive Officer of African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, is a huge loss to the music and movie industry, particularly Nollywood and teeming followers of her career, knowing a huge gap had been created by her exit.
The president, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, condoled with the family, saying he shared in the pain of loss.
President Buhari affirmed the contributions of the industrious and creative artiste and administrator to the growth of the film industry in Nigeria, using the award platform to engage and inspire many.
The president said he believes the strong institutions Anyiam-Osigwe built for discovery and promotion of African talents, AMAA, and African Film Academy, will carry on her legacies.
President Buhari prayed for the repose of her soul.
