PRESS RELEASE

The National
Executive Council of the Actors Guild of Nigeria would like to react to
the story make the rounds especially in the social media that AGN has
abandoned Actor, Prince James Uche.
The Guild took over the
responsibility of Prince James Uche in September 2013.when we got the
information about his health issue. The national President visited him
and he refused to be taken to hospital or go on the health plan of the
Guild. That he wanted cash. N100K naria was given to him.
In May 2014 , we visited him again to check on him and this is what followed.
We took him to R. Jolad
Hospital Gbagada, Lagos State. comprehensive tests were conducted and
was diagnosed of complications arising from HBP/Hypertension. He was
admitted and well treated at the Hospital for over a week before he was
certified well and discharged by the Doctor.
After that, we took him to Eye Foundation for further Optical treatment
Series of tests were conducted on him and was diagnosed of complications arising from the primary ailment of HBP/hypertension.
The medical team
discovered that the eye vessel that supplies blood to the eyes was
damaged as a result of a Stroke he suffered many years ago, and nothing
could be done.
It was then recommend
that he keeps the blood pressure low at all times to avoid further
complications which could lead to total blindness.
To ensure he gets
regular medication for the HBP, the Guild enrolled him on our Health
Plan, HMO which we domiciled at R.Jolad Hospital Gbadaga close to his
place of abode.
We equally obtained a dietary guide to help curtail the high blood pressure.
On May 26, 2014 during
the first year anniversary of Lagos State Chapter, we presented a cheque
covering two years rent to his Agent in presence of all members of
Lagos State Chapter.
The President, Chief Ibinabo Fiberesima also approved pocket money allowance as well as food items for him.
Between June 2014
Decemeber 2014, the Guild has been in constant touch with Prince James
Uche and he has never told us of any Kidney ailment neither did all the
tests conducted on him both at R.Jolad Hospital and Eye Foundation
Hospital indicate any sign of Kidney problem.
During the medical
expedition, Prince Uche told us that his church took him for Dialysis
three times and they found no problem with his kidney.

like to join issues or publicize any assistance offered to our members,
we sincerely wish to set the records straight that Actors Guild of
Nigeria did not neglect Prince James Uche. We have done everything
humanly possible to assist Prince James Uche. If anyone wants to assist
