Led by their president and veteran actor, Dele Odule, the thespians were received by one of the daughters of the matriarch, Dr. (Mrs) Tokunbo Awolowo – Dosunmu.
They were received at the Efunyela Hall inside the expansive compound of the Awolowos which was a beehive of activities yesterday.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Odule commiserated with the family of Awolowo and chronicled the contributions of both the patriarch and matriarch of the family to the Nigerian film industry.
In her remarks, Dr. Awolowo-Dosunmu thanked the actors for their visit and urged them to use their art to preserve the culture of the Yoruba people and tell the stories of important personalities in the South west region through their films.
