Anyiam-Osigwe who hold the national tiltle, Member of the Order of the Federal Republic, MFR, and currently presides over  the Association of Movie Producers, AMP, as President is deeply shocked as the announced death of Chico filter into the airwave.

In a statement she personally signed, Osigwe described Ejiro as “legend” who completed his “earthly journey.”

The statement reads:

“Our “Chico” has left the earthly journey. The word Chico in Spanish translates to boy and in a way that describes our “Chico,” who, in a way, was synonymous with everything Nollywood.

“There has been silence in the home of Producers as the one we call Mr. Prolific left on Christmas day.

“To describe Chico Ejiro as a legend is an understatement. He created his style of having a phenomenal speed to produce films.  Chico had a team and was always in preproduction whilst on a production. He wrote scripts,  directed and fundamentally helped to create the stars that we celebrate today as Nollywood celebrities.

“Chico Ejiro was a very active member of the Association of Movie Producers. We will definitely miss him .

“We send our condolences to one of the founding fathers of the Association of Movie producers, Mr Zeb Ejiro who is the elder  brother of Chico,

“The Sheik of Nollywood Mr Zeb Ejiro nurtured his brother Chico in his early sojourn in Nollywood. To his wife, Joy Chico Ejiro, the children and the whole family, may God continue to give you the fortitude to bear the loss at this time,” prayed  Peace Anyiam-Osigwe
