According to a statement released over the weekend, the donation will provide a structured allowance of ₦5.05 million per quarter, spanning from the third quarter of 2025 to the third quarter of 2026. The initiative, industry observers say, represents a major milestone in institutionalising professional compensation within Nollywood guilds.
Boyo’s latest contribution follows his earlier donation in July 2025, when he gifted the DGN a double-cabin truck and ₦30 million to support the guild’s operations and mobility. The filmmaker, known for his longstanding advocacy for industry reform and creative welfare, has now reinforced his commitment to empowering practitioners and promoting structured leadership in the film sector.
The statement noted that Boyo has also extended similar support to other film associations, including the Association of Movie Producers (AMP), where he serves as a patron. His most recent gift to AMP — a production truck equipped with state-of-the-art film gear worth over ₦45 million — further underscores his hands-on investment in developing Nollywood’s production infrastructure.
“Andy Boyo has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the growth and development of the Nigerian film industry. His history of supporting Nollywood projects and professionals is well-documented and cannot be overemphasised,” the statement read.
Industry figures have hailed Boyo’s philanthropy as a model for sustainable leadership funding, arguing that his approach could help professional bodies reduce reliance on sporadic levies and voluntary contributions.
A respected pioneer of the video film era, Boyo’s career spans over three decades, during which he has produced, directed, and mentored numerous filmmakers. His latest act of generosity, many believe, sets a new benchmark for corporate and individual support within Nigeria’s creative sector.
