Lagos has launched a health insurance scheme for veteran Nollywood actors and filmmakers.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor, announced this on Twitter after hosting some veterans to dinner on Monday.

Nollywood veterans soliciting financial aid from citizens during the health crisis have been in public discourse.

The Lagos Governor’s Tribunal sets a date for the judgment in the case of Sanwo-Olu v. Jandor/Gbadebo.

Sanwo-Olu said the insurance scheme would ensure these actors and filmmakers are covered for medical care.

“We realise that this industry is one of the highest employers of labour,” the governor said.

“The veterans and practitioners have continued to provide succour and a means of livelihood to a lot of citizens.

“More importantly, they give freshness to our lives through their stories.

 “The health insurance scheme is part of our interventions to assist them with access to health care in public health facilities.

“This scheme will be specially categorised for professionals in the film business and those who have shaped our society with their craft.”

Among those who attended the dinner are Idowu Philips, Adebayo Salami, and a host of others.
