The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has announced plans to launch a mobile application aimed at modernizing Nollywood operations and enhancing digital access for its members and fans. The app will be officially unveiled on June 28 during the inauguration of the guild’s new national secretariat in Lagos.
AGN President Emeka Rollas said the app launch is part of a broader digital transformation strategy designed to give members better access to guild services and open new channels of engagement with the public. “We are giving our members digital access and recognition, while opening our doors to the world through innovation, accountability and collaboration,” Rollas stated.
The app will serve as a secure platform where actors can manage their professional profiles and fans can engage directly with Nollywood stars. Features include access to news, auditions, events, training opportunities, behind-the-scenes content, red carpet coverage, and digital meet-and-greets.
“The AGN mobile app reflects our desire not just to reform our operations internally but also to build a stronger connection between the industry and the people who love Nollywood,” Rollas added.
Established in 1998, the AGN represents over 2 million registered members across Nigeria’s 36 states, making it the largest actors’ association in Africa. Under Rollas’s leadership since 2017, the guild has expanded its reach and is introducing a licensing system to regulate the industry and improve conditions for actors.
