Driven by the need to invest in Kogi Film industry, a Portharcourt based businessman and philanthropist, Mr. Austeen Otene has bought 800 tickets in support of the Ona Movie 20 school campus tour.
Because of his beliefs in education as a panacea to alleviating poverty, Mr. Austeen Otene has sponsored various scholarship programmes ranging from primary, secondary to tertiary institution.
Ona, By the Rivers of Lokoja, produced by renowned actor, Thompson Makolo and directed by Achor Yusuf who is best known for directing some of Nollywood’s acclaimed movies features top acts like Solomon Akiyesi, Ajanigo Simeon amongst others.
Hailed by movie critics as unarguably the best movie out of North Central Nigeria, the movie is Thompson Makolo’s attempt at selling the culture, values and vast tourism potentials of the Kogi People to the rest of the world.
According to Thompson Makolo, the campus tour slated to begin on the 19th of January, 2017 will be held in 20 campuses including Federal University Lokoja, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Federal University of Technology Minna among others.
The actor and producer revealed that the idea behind the campus tour was to take the movie to the youth audience as the story has shares the powerful message of believing in your dream and aspiration.
