Grace Agbo, a former Nollywood actress, has stated that she left Nollywood to pick up a firefighting job because of her desire to always help those in danger.
The Benue State born damsel said she had found fulfillment since she started working at the Federal Fire Service, Abuja.
In a chat with The Nation, she said :“I like this new job. I have always wanted a uniform job. But I will miss Nollywood greatly because acting has also been my passion right from childhood.
“My family, especially my dad, is very happy with my new job. What people are saying that I left Nollywood because of poor pay is not true. I didn’t leave Nollywood totally. I am just taking a break for now to enable me focus on my new job.
“I love my uniform job and I also enjoy saving people in danger. It feels really good, it gives me joy knowing that I can be of service to my country.
“My colleagues in Nollywood should keep up with making good movies and let the shows go on, but the big problem there is funding, lack of government presence and no enough opportunity for up-and-coming actors.”
