Pictured is the pioneer of the Nigerian film industry Francis Oladele, aged 82 who passed on this morning June 22nd after a brief illness. May his soul rest in peace.
He established his film company Calpenny-Nigeria Films Limited, in 1965 and produced his first movie, Kongi’s Harvest, based on Wole Soyinka’s dramatic epic of the same title in 1970. He did a lot for our film industry.
