Nollywood actress and producer,
Fisayo Ajisola is currently working on her new
movie titled “ Road To Ruin” in a bid to ensuring
crime free society.
The movie which examines the lives of banned
street hawkers in Lagos state came as a result of
the rampant cases of crimes and traffic congestion
which, according to the state government, aided
robbery, kidnap, killing, and other societal ills.
According to Ajisola, the movie is to draw the
attention of the federal government, states and
well-meaning Nigerians to the plight of young
Nigerians who have no means of survival,
education and jobs but to find means to make
their lives productive through menial jobs.
Ajisola, through her Non-Governmental
Organisation (NGO), Jewel Empowerment
Foundation (JEF), has solicited for a better
alternative from the government and also proffered
a lasting solution to the challenges of the
underprivileged and street hawkers in the new
flick.
The director of the movie, Tunde Olaoye, noted
that the short movie was a public service
announcement for the children on the street and
to encourage the government to look for a better
solution.
Veteran actor, Raphael Niyi Stephen, who is also
part of the project, said: “The movie is a way of
making people know what is happening to kids
and also to lend our voices to what the
government is doing about hawking, letting people
know hawking isn’t the last option.”
