From Politics to Scripts: Former Minister, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye Joins Nollywood

In a surprise move, former Minister of Women Affairs Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye has announced her departure from politics to pursue a career in Nollywood. This dramatic career shift comes just months after her removal from the cabinet in a reshuffle by President Bola Tinubu.
