The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) is an umbrella union that regulates and represents the affairs of film actors in Nigeria and abroad. The guild is headed by Emeka Rollas who has served as president since August 22, 2017. Its current leadership includes Nollywood heavyweights Joke Silva (Board of Trustees), Kate Henshaw (National Executive Council), and Rita Dominic and Nancy Isime (President’s Cabinet). According to a 2019 speech by Rollas, the AGN has over 2 million registered members across 36 states and is the largest actors association in Africa.
From 8-10 August, the guild will host the Actors Guild of Nigeria International Festival in Los Angeles, in partnership with Africa Travel Film Festival (AFTRAFF) and Dream Magic Studios, a subsidiary of Silverbird Group.
