Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has assured the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and Nollywood practitioners, that deserving honour will be given to Precious Ofurum, a Rivers indigene who was involved in the unfortunate boat mishap in Asaba, Delta State.

Fubara gave the assurance yesterday when members of the organisation came to Government House in Port Harcourt to show solidarity to their late member, and to formally inform the state government of the unfortunate incident.

The governor, who was represented by the Head of Civil Service, Dr George Nwaeke, said it was their visit that has brought to the knowledge of government that an indigene of the state was one of the victims.
He commended the Nollywood practitioners who have demonstrated enviable solidarity to one of their own, which suggested that the 26-year old Precious Chimaobi Ofurum was distinguished among them.

The governor described the passing of Ofurum in that ill-fated film shooting trip as unfortunate because he was already an exemplary Nigerian who has demonstrated the success any determined person can clinch while remaining in the country.

He said, “The entire Rivers State extends our condolences to the family. No one can heal the wound better than God. We heard of the sad news, but honestly, I never knew Rivers person was involved. So, as I came and heard of the subject of this visit, I am devastated and the entire people of Rivers State are very sad.

“I want to tell his family, as sad as it is, you should still draw consolation from this: that your son died a hero. He was one of the heroes that Nigeria has ever produced.
“People of his age are leaving the shores of Nigeria but he was very proud of Nigeria, remained here to salvage the image of and calve a name for Nigeria. I am happy to say Precious Chimaobi Ofurum was our own ambassador in the comity of actors.”

Fubara stated that his administration is youth-friendly, and will never overlook what it will do for the bereaved family of a Rivers youth who utilised his talent productively.
He said, “The governor is a development-friendly leader. He is a youth like you. Our governor is one that loves to make the state proud. He is happy when people from the state excel. He will always identify with them. So, even in death, I can assure you that the governor will do honour to our departed son, Precious Chimaobi Ofurum.”

In his presentation, the convener of the solidarity visit, Mr Eric Stevenson, said on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, some actors returning from a movie set, were involved in a boat mishap in Asaba, Delta State, pointing out that Ofurum, an indigene of the state, was among those who died in the incident.
Stevenson explained that other states have reached out to claim their own and offered support to the families but regretted that none has come for the late actor.
