Veteran actress Ngozi Nwosu has stated that she won’t be offering free services to her home state of Abia due to lack of support during her health struggles.

Nwosu, in 2012, faced a serious health crisis with a kidney-related illness, and according to her, the Abia state government didn’t lend a helping hand.

In a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, the 61-year-old actress shared her disappointment and frustration with the situation.

She stated that from now on, any future services she provides to the state will come with a hefty price tag.

“I have personally said that there is nothing my state will call me for that I would go for free. They would pay through their nose for me to be there, I am from Arochukwu local government, Abia state,” she declared.

Nwosu recounted how she received vital assistance from the Lagos state government during her health struggles.

According to her, a woman who was a huge fan of her work, alerted the Lagos government.

“It was the fame I had through the roles I played in series then that helped me when I needed help.

“The person who called the Lagos state government did it because I was her favorite actor. So when she heard I was down she called the government to save my live because she loves me,” she added.

The actress began her career in Yoruba films and gained widespread recognition with her iconic role in ‘Living in Bondage’. (Via The nation)
