Popular movie producer and actor, Paul Obazele has teamed up with Zack Orji and gospel singer, Asu Ekiye to stage a talent hunt programme tagged Youth Empowerment Through Entertainment.
Aimed at promoting peace and sensitising Niger-Delta youths against violence, the programme began on Sunday last week at the Diete Spiff Civic Centre, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Speaking about the programme, Obazele said: “we are taking this youth empowerment programme round all the Niger Delta states to help discover and engage the youth of these areas constructively and positively. We are starting with Rivers State. The other states are Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River, Ondo, Abia and Imo. And in each of these states, 10 winners will emerge in both acting and music talent hunt initiatives.
“We have lined up top resource persons to be part of the programme.”
