Why we broke up from ANTP …Dele Odule..

By Ayo Ademokoya.

President of the Theatre Arts and Motion Picture practitioners of Nigeria..(TAMPAN) has reveal that Incessant and lingering court cases ANTP had was the main reason why the progressives among the former association  decided to break away and start a new association that is aimed at truly empowering its members as well as project positively the image of the country to the outside world.

In an exclusive interview with www.harohkah.blogspot.com.ng  in his office before jetting out the United states of America recently, the Ibadan based renown actor and producer was  bold enough start a parallel organisation TAMPAN  on  the 20^th December 2014 for the main problems of  various court cases and litigations bedeviling ANTP since 1995 and anyone very familiar with the ANTP  will notice that it is either this person is taken to court because of greed of mismanagement or one selfish reason or the other which has become  a clog in the wheel of progress for the ANTP and since we want to move on some of us opted out and we thank God for our achievements so far.

“Look it is just like when you say NURTW or RTEAN they are all transport workers the same thing with SONTA or AGN, TAMPAN or NANTAP  all of us belongs to the same theatre industry. Some believed that they are lecturer and they cannot be associated with a Secondary school certificate holder  so because of Ego they formed SONTA but as for us we came out because litigations has so far slow us down.

“Part of our achievement is that we have sent at least 10 of our members back to school to study in the University. We believe so much in empowering our members educationally and we have done that also we are going to revive stage productions he said.

 
“So far we give glory to God because throughout the nation we have branches especially in the South West and where we don’t we have representation. he concluded.
