"It's About Time!!" - Omowunmi Dada Reacts to New Movie 'Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti'

The biopic of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti had its premiere on Sunday, May 12 and was attended by its cast and the crew who came out to celebrate the film. Hosted by Uti Nwachukwu, the event attracted support from guests including the Lagos and Ogun state governors, Babajide Sanwo–Olu and Dapo Abiodun.

It was among the Nigerian feature films selected for screening at the 12th Africa International Film Festival (ARIFF 2023), and yesterday, it won the Best Writing Movie at the 10th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award.
