原文原文 / Original Text

The Federal Government has mourned the death of veteran Nollywood actor and cultural icon, Olu Jacobs, describing his passing as a monumental loss to Nigeria’s creative industry.

Jacobs died on Wednesday at the age of 84.

The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, expressed the government’s condolences in a statement issued by the ministry.

Musawa described the late actor as a national institution whose career helped shape Nigeria’s entertainment industry and promote the country’s stories on the global stage.

“Olu Jacobs was not just an actor, he was a national institution. He was one of the most important pillars of Nigeria’s entertainment industry and one of Africa’s greatest actors,” she said.

“For over five decades, his voice, his presence and his craft gave life to our stories and gave dignity to our industry.”

The minister said Jacobs’ contributions extended beyond acting, noting his role in mentoring and developing talents through the Lufodo Academy.

According to her, the academy had trained hundreds of actors, directors and filmmakers who are now contributing to the growth of Nollywood.
