ABOUT TAMPAN
Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Producers Association of
Nigeria (TAMPAN) became a child of necessity whose delivery couldn’t wait for
one more minute after it became clear that those who we, the real practitioners
in theatre mingled with had more time for irrelevancies than the profession we
all claim to practice. The propagation and Projection of the ethos and ethics
of the trade we ply forced spirited consultations among the real professionals
and the living fathers of theatre at the time like Alagba Adebayo Faleti, OON
(now of blessed memory) Late Moses Adejumo Olaiya, MON (Baba Sala), Chief Akin
Ogungbe (also of blessed memory), Pa Tunbosun Odunsi, Chief Mrs. Abiodun Duro
Ladipo and a host of others. Those series of consultations eventually climaxed
in an emergency meeting of all stakeholders of the industry (numbering over
200) at Ikorodu, the country home of one of Nigeria’s theatre legends of
imperishable stardom, Otunba Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello). The result of that
emergency meeting of February 2014 gave birth to TAMPAN.

The meeting which started slightly behind schedule was a smooth
one except for some issues of personal interest and counter opinions. It was successful with deliberations, projections and consensuses.
The future looks bright with the retinue of like minds and
we are optimistic variances in opinions will be addressed with the constitution
as the overall standard said a practitioner.
We had a brief interview with one of the attendees who preferred
to by anonymous: He said though they were some arguments at certain points of
the meeting, it was in the long run a very successful meeting.

He said among matters arising in the meeting were
deliberation on the Associations membership fees, next meeting date,
productions in view, advice on best practices et al.
He concluded that with the caliber of experienced theatre
arts practitioners who attended: E.g. Isoken Ibie an experienced Actor and
producer with a demonstrated history of working in the entertainment industry and
the likes of Akeem Ogunmilade a 2 times State Governor of the National
Association of Nigerian Theater Arts practitioners-Ekiti State Chapter,
Temidayo Enitan and a host of others, a bright future awaits the chapter.
