Barely 18 months in of
fice as the  first female President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo  Fiberesima, has put smiles on the faces of members of the guild through her open door policies and restructural developments. She has also restored sanity in the body which was once riddled with complaints, corruption, neglect and dejection.
The damsel, who hails from Rivers State was sworn- in as the first female president  and the 7th president of AGN in September  2012 which had herself, Emeka Rollas and Steve Eboh as contestants on assumption of office. She started by bringing unity and sense of participation  among  its members with seminars,  workshops and above all, celebrating some of their own who had made the industry proud.
She also ensured that their departed colleagues were all duely honoured even at death. One of such persons  is veteran actor, Pet Eneh. She led a group of movie stars  to the tribute night which  turned  out to be a carnival night celebrations.
It is also worthy  of note that her tenure brought the eyes and attention of the Nigerian government to Nollywood as  uncountable are the numerous rewards the AGN has been getting from President Goodluck Jonathan  lately ranging from donations to grants.
Recently, she led a group of movie actors to Aso Rock to honour President Goodluck Jonathan with the title of Grand Patron  of AGN. On 18th February, Fiberesima led about 80 members of the guild including past presidents, members of the guilds board of trustees and executives  from 35 states of the federation to pay a solidarity visit to the president.
It was gathered that during the visit, the President donated a plot of land for the building of the guild’s secretariat in Abuja and promised to assist  them in building a befitting secretariat for them.
The actress who was recently appointed into the board of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), has also bridged  the gap  between the English and  Yoruba actors to a reasonable extent as she not only attends most events of Yourba actors, she also includes them as part of her delegation whenever the need  arises.
It was also gathered that it is only in Ibinabo’s tenure  that known faces in Nollywood have come to associate with AGN. Today,  actresses like GenevIeve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Ini Edo, Stephaine Okereke, Omotola Jalade- Ekeinde and several others participate  in activities of the guild as opposed to what obtained before.
Not resting on her oars, she has declared her intention to aid victims of Borno bomb blast through her foundation, Ibinabo Care Foundation amongst numerous other achievements. Infact, her Midas touch has not only transformed and rebranded the AGN but has given the guild global recognition and focus.
She is the national director for  Nigeria to Miss Earth beauty  pageant, one of the biggest indigenous pageants  in Nigeria. A mother of adorable kids, Ibinabo cuts the picture of a teenage beauty with her flawless skin, alluring looks and charming personnel that  endears her to many.
