Joy Tambou said the role would be approached with discipline and professionalism, pledging to work closely with the elected leadership to ensure order, excellence, respect and seamless representation of the guild at all official engagements.

The actress and producer said her priority would be unity and collaboration across the Nigerian acting community, adding that the administration’s direction reflected a powerful commitment to service, impact and shared progress rather than internal division.

Joy Tambou noted that strengthening welfare, professionalism and the global relevance of Nigerian actors would remain central to her work as Chief Protocol, describing the new leadership as visionary and people focused.

Beyond her new administrative role, Joy Tambou is widely recognised for her contributions to Nollywood as both a producer and performer.
