“There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened unemployment, poor healthcare system, corruption, lack of infrastructure, low education standard and slow economic growth in Nigeria,” he said.

Therefore, Ani-Laju has set up a platform to empower the youths and identify new talents in the areas of entertainment and education to drive economic growth in the country. His words: “Our youths need to be repositioned and helped to release their ample potential. To this end, I am glad to announce that in the area of entertainment, we shall be producing six blockbuster movies with local content-based on true life stories of Nigerians living in the South, North, East, West, Central area of Nigeria and also Nigerians living abroad.”

Auditions for the new talents will commence in May 2021 in different cities nationwide. “We are calling on talented people, scriptwriters, actors, actresses, cinematographers, directors, video editors, make-up artist, models, songwriters, musicians, entertainers, sportsmen and women, artisans to send in their entry via our website from May 14, 2021,” Ani- Laju said.

Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
