Veteran Nigerian actor, Sola Fosudo, who is now a Professor, has revealed in a new interview, why he left Nollywood for a N5,000 lecturing Job at the Lagos State University (LASU).
Sola Fosudo said, “I was happy with the industry at the time I moved to LASU, but I have always looked forward to growth and I knew LASU would be a platform for me to make a bigger contribution to the development of theatre in Nigeria. Development theatre in Nigeria should not be only through films but also by training people.
Even before I went to study theatre arts, I was a professional teacher. I love teaching and reading. So, when I saw the lecturing advert, I was attracted by the fact that a theatre person was needed.”
