Why I’ll never offer free services to my state – actress Ngozi Nwosu

Veteran actress Ngozi Nwosu has stated that she will never offer free services to her home state, Abia State, and she gave her reason for arriving at this decision.

Nwosu cited a lack of support from her state during her health struggles as her reason. 

In 2012, the Fuji House of Commotion star faced a serious health crisis when she suffered a kidney-related illness, and according to her, the Abia state government did not lend a helping hand. 

In a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, the 61-year-old actress shared her disappointment and frustration with the situation. 

She stated that from now on, any future services she provides to the state will come with a hefty price tag. 

“I have personally said that there is nothing my state will call me for that I would go for free. They would pay through their nose for me to be there, I am from Arochukwu local government, Abia state,” she said. 

According to her, a woman who was a huge fan of her work, alerted the Lagos government and that was how she got help. 

“It was the fame I had through the roles I played in series then that helped me when I needed help. 

“The person who called the Lagos state government did it because I was her favorite actor. So when she heard I was down she called the government to save my live because she loves me,” she added.
