Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the former Minister of Women Affairs, has made her entry into the Nigerian film industry, Nollywood.
This transition came just a few months after President Bola Tinubu dismissed her from her ministerial position.
Kennedy-Ohanenye was appointed as a minister in August 2023 but was removed during a cabinet reshuffle on October 23, 2024, along with four other ministers. At 51 years old, she turned her attention to filmmaking, announcing her new career path on her X handle, where she shared a video showcasing her latest project.

In addition to her political career, Kennedy-Ohanenye is also a lawyer and entrepreneur.
She joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015 and became the party’s first female presidential aspirant in the 2023 elections, though she later withdrew her candidacy to support Bola Tinubu.
