Renowned Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has joined the ranks of Nigerian film practitioners dedicated to enhancing the industry’s infrastructure.

WESTERN POST can confirm that Chatta has developed a film village spanning over five hectares in his hometown of Nupe, Kwara State.

The Africhatta Film Village and Resort, which has been under development for more than three years, aims to bolster capacity building within the Nollywood sector.

This initiative follows the establishment of the KAP Film Village in Oyo State by esteemed filmmaker Kunle Afolayan.

Prominent figures in the Nigerian film industry, such as Deyemi Okanlawon, Muyiwa Ademola Authentic, Lateef Adedimeji, Iyabo Ojo, Adebimpe Oyebade, and Niyi Akinmolayan, have been spotted at the Africhatta Film Village and Resort on various occasions.

Film productions have already commenced at the site, with many of Chatta’s colleagues utilizing the property for their projects.
