Former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has made a return to the film industry with the release of her new movie titled Hatred.

Since her departure from government, the 51-year-old politician has dedicated herself to filmmaking.

On Wednesday, she announced her latest project in a post on X, providing a link to the film on Kenuj TV, her YouTube channel.

The former minister has previously appeared in films such as Saving My Marriage, Hunting the Angel, Royal Ploy, and The Cow Girls, collaborating with notable actors including Segun Arinze, Ngozi Ezeonu, Linda Osifo, and Francis Duru.
