BEVERLY HILLS, May 24, (THEWILL) – After his failed bid to purchase Arsenal Football Club, a former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu wants to expand his business empire by wanting to invest in Nigeria’s burgeoning movie industry. There is an indication that the ex-governor might be planning to transform his vast estate located at Igbere in the Bende Local Government Area of the state, which has been left unoccupied for many years, into Nigeria’s first-ever film studio. To this end, he will be working in partnership with comedian, actor and movie producer, Ayo Makun, otherwise known as AY.

To be named Camp Neya, after Kalu’s first daughter, the film studio will be modelled after Tyler Perry’s film studio, which is located in Atlanta, Georgia, on 330 acres of land belonging to the former Fort McPherson Complex, the largest film studio in America. Kalu’s estate, which comprises several units of eye-popping buildings and other exotic structures is expected to be a tourism destination that will also be used for high quality movie productions of international standards.

Some of the features of the estate, which hasn’t been occupied in almost 16 years are – over 36 jumbo sized sitting rooms, 12 room presidential lodge, governors lodge for all the 36 states and FCT, a 5000 capacity conference hall, a banquet hall, a Karaoke hall, 22 Kitchens, 102 toilets, 76 Bathrooms, 187 bedrooms, a golf course, a football pitch, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, one indoor swimming pool, a basketball court, a lawn tennis court, a sports centre, a church, a mosque, a bush bar, a petrol filling station, ATM machines, a clinic, children’s recreation centre, an ICT centre, several gardens, a police post and a military detachment.
