“In fulfillment of this promise, the winners of AMBO1 and 2, Azizat Sadiq and Okechukwu Ukeje respectively have starred in Sitanda and White Waters (which is coming soon). “As a way of taking AMBO to greater heights and Amstel Malta’s commitment to partner with, and develop Nollywood, we asked budding story writers to submit a one-page-story that would form the synopsis for the Amstel Malta Box Office 3 movie that would star Bhaira Mcwizu winner of AMBO3.
