Former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has returned to Nollywood with a new movie.

The lawyer, whose production portfolio includes ‘Mama Onboard’, ‘The Senator’, ‘The Governor’, and ‘The President’, announced the release of her new movie on her X (formerly Twitter) page on Wednesday.
