The Actors Guild of Nigeria has appointed former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tega Dominic, as Special Adviser on Sexual Harassment to the National President-Elect of the Guild.
The appointment was confirmed in an official letter issued by the AGN and shared by Dominic on her Instagram page on Thursday, where she formally accepted the role.
According to the letter, the position is aimed at strengthening safeguards for actors and promoting ethical conduct within Nigeria’s film industry.
“We are pleased to inform you of your appointment as Special Adviser on Sexual Harassment to the National President-Elect of the Actors Guild of Nigeria,” the letter stated.
The Guild explained that the office will focus on preventing sexual harassment and ensuring safer working conditions across Nollywood.
“The office of the Special Adviser on Sexual Harassment is responsible for formulating and implementing policies that protect members, advocating safe and ethical work environments, and creating clear channels for reporting, investigating and resolving harassment-related cases within the Guild,” the AGN noted.
Describing the role as crucial to professionalism and accountability in the industry, the Guild said Dominic was selected based on her competence and experience.
“This position is critical to building a culture of respect, accountability and professional integrity within the Actors Guild of Nigeria,” the letter read, adding that her appointment reflects “her sound judgment, professional competence and relevant experience.”
The AGN, however, noted that the appointment is subject to disciplinary rules of the Guild.
“This appointment may be terminated in cases of insubordination, misconduct, indiscipline or actions that contravene the Constitution of the Actors Guild of Nigeria,” it stated.
Reacting to the development, Dominic expressed appreciation to the AGN leadership, describing the appointment as a responsibility to serve and protect industry stakeholders.
“I am honoured and deeply grateful to accept my appointment as Special Adviser on Sexual Harassment to the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria,” she wrote.
She pledged to prioritise safety, accountability and respect within Nollywood.
“My commitment is unwavering—zero tolerance for sexual harassment, confidential and safe reporting systems, strong protection for survivors, and an industry where respect is non-negotiable,” Dominic said.
She added that her goal is to help create an environment where creativity can thrive without fear or intimidation.
“Together, we can build an industry where talent flourishes and dignity is always upheld,” she added.
