Nollywood actor and President of the Theatre Arts and Movies Production Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN, Bolaji Amusan better known as Mr Latin, has left many bewildered by the amount of money spent on actors’ health challenges.
In a recent interview, the TAMPAN president revealed that the association has spent over N10million on actor’s health challenges.
He stated that the actors who beg for money on TV aren’t part of the association, hence, why the association can’t be of help to them.
According to him, TAMPAN has always come to the rescue of all active members.
“Since I became the President of TAMPAN, we have spent over N10million on actor’s health challenges. The ones you see going on the TV to beg for money are not active members of the association. We always come to the aid of all active members”.
