The Africa Women Conference (AWC) has mourned the dying of celebrated Nollywood actor, Francis Duru, describing him as a valued member of the convention household whose contributions enriched the organisation through the years.
The AWC Convener, Dr. Jumai Ahmadu, in a press release issued on Friday, mentioned Duru’s dying was a painful loss to the inventive business and the broader convention group.
Ahmadu mentioned the actor’s dying was notably poignant because the organisation prepares for its tenth Anniversary Edition in Accra, Ghana.
She mentioned because the convention displays on personalities who’ve contributed to its development and historical past, Duru would stay an essential a part of its story.
“His longstanding participation and contributions turned a part of our shared journey, and we are going to bear in mind with gratitude the time, expertise and dedication he delivered to the convention.
“His presence will be deeply missed,” she mentioned.
Ahmadu, on behalf of the AWC management, companions and members of the convention group, prolonged condolences to Duru’s spouse, youngsters, prolonged household, mates and colleagues.
She prayed for power, consolation and peace for the bereaved household and all these mourning the actor’s dying.
Duru was broadly recognised for his contributions to Nollywood, with a profession spanning a number of many years.
