The cheque was presented by lawmaker and filmmaker Desmond Elliott to the late actor’s widow, Uju Ngozi Madubogwu on behalf of the governor.

Present at the presentation was the late filmmaker’s friend, Nobert Ajaegbu, a popular lawyer and film marketer.

The widow expressed her thanks to the governor and prayed for God’s blessing for him.

Elliot also commended the governor’s magnanimity and passed the governor’s condolence message to Obi’s family.

Madubogwu aka King of Musanga was laid to rest on November10, 2017 at his country home, Nkwere Ogidi, Anambra state.
