The Nigerian Entertainment Industry Health Insurance Scheme (NEIHIS) says the
death of prolific producer; OJB Jezreel is an unfortunate loss to the
entertainment industry and the entire country.
Reacting to the sad development in a press release made
available in Lagos, NEIHIS says the late producer cum singer fought the good
fight of life. Against all odds, he was very optimistic and remained focused
till he breathed his last.
One of the coordinators of the scheme, Mr. Seun Apara said
the news of OJB’s death was received with a rude shock. “OJB was a fantastic
and very positive individual. I remember when we started this movement to have
a customized health insurance scheme for the entertainment industry, he was one
of the first set of people to believe and support the project. In fact, he was
part of our first meeting with the Lagos State Ministry of Health and was also
one of the panelists at the inaugural Convention. This is a huge loss to all of
us and our prayers so far has been that God will grant the family the fortitude
to bear this irreplaceable loss”.
As regards the state of the scheme, Apara said work is in
progress and many developments that have been kept under wraps will be
announced in due time.
