Veteran Nollywood Actor, Pete Edochie, picks up His Gratuity - (IKORODUDAILYNEWS)

Ikorodudailynews came across photos of veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, picking up the gratuity due to him from his days as a broadcaster.

Even though 70-year-old Pete Edochie is an accomplished actor, not many know that the man famous for his 'Okonkwo' role in the 'Things Fall Apart' movie was a broadcaster. Edochie who worked with the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS), retired in 1998 and faced Nollywood squarely. Ikorodudailynews believe the actor alongside his former colleagues had reason to smile recently, as the Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano, paid their gratuities which had been owed them for a really long time.

Ikorodudailynews shared a post about the actor on their Facebook page, ABS wrote: "Pete Edochie, Offokaja and other ABS retirees receive their gratuities. First batch of retirees of Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) today received their long outstanding gratuities from the office of the Anambra state Accountant General.
