At the helm of Giant Creative Studios, Chichi Nworah, known for her trailblazing works such as Shanty Town, Omoge Suzzy, and Fairytale Wedding, has once again demonstrated her exceptional talent and vision, and a testament to her dedication to creating content that resonates deeply with movie fans.

“Thank you MultiChoice for the opportunity to create this series by myself and Donald. We are glad to have this and take it home. I want to tell everyone that if you are gifted to create, don’t be afraid to tell your story. In 2019, we started making Slum King and today, we are glad to get this award. Thank you,” she gushed in her acceptance speech.
Full of gratitude, Chichi took to her social media pages to express more appreciation to individuals, personalities and corporations that made the ‘Slum King’ dream a reality.
