He said that the guild had lost some of its members to death caused by various illnesses.
Advising actors to take their health seriously, Rollas encouraged AGN members to take advantage of the Life Insurance Scheme.
“It is not possible to totally guide against death, but the scheme will serve as a platform to prepare members from being caught unawares by the cold hands of death,” he said.
Also speaking on her death, the Vice President, AGN, South West chapter, Tope Babayemi, said, “this is another sad loss to the movie industry and it is high time we began to take our health seriously."
“God gives and God takes. She was a great actress and her fans will miss her greatly,” he added.
