The veteran actress will be conferred with the title of Ezenwanyi Ndigbo Na Nollywood title, which literally means: Queen mother of practitioners of Igbo stock in Nollywood.

A statement made available to us revealed that Ezeonu was chosen for the title by the Igbo Film Forum and Ohanaeze Ndigbo Nollywood.

The President General of the association, C. Chuma, in a statement disclosed that the choice of Ezeonu was due to her immense contributions in the propagation, promotion and projection of Igbo culture and her dedication to duty.

Ezeonu would be presented with her staff of office at the fourth Nollywood Igbo Film Festival scheduled to hold on Wednesday in Asaba.

The seasoned actress is an alumnus of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism.

In 2011, she was named as the Igbo Cultural Ambassador by the Igbo Bu Igbo Cultural Movement Worldwide.
