TAMPAN: Nkechi Blessing explains why it took three years to apologise

Actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has disclosed that it took her three years to apologise to the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) leaders because she was ignorant.

The movie star, who was suspended in 2021 explained, “I was that Nkechi who doesn’t listen to anybody, who doesn’t take corrections from people.

“Now, in trying to change a lot about myself, I’ve decided to reconnect with the industry that made me who I am.”

Additionally, she admitted that she was rude towards board members of TAMPAN and esteemed elders in the industry.
