The school, according to the talented actress, is an attempt to give back to the society. ‘Many people have been calling me that they want to be like me and I feel the only way for them to be like me is to get a good training. So, I decided to set up a school where they can get trained. I have been thinking of how to give back to the society and I realized that this is an avenue to do so’, she told NET.
On why she chose to set up the school in Ibadan, she said, ‘Many
people don’t know I’m an Ibadan girl. Though I am a native of Edo state,
I was brought up Ibadan. Initially, I was considering setting up the
school in Lagos, but the cost of land there is outrageous. ‘Where we are
using now is not really ours, we have a big site that we are building
and it will be completed next year. We decided to start the school this
year because the pressure on us to kick off is very high.’ Named Toyin
Aimakhu Films Academy, the school will also house Toyin’s corporate
office. With the development, the ‘Alakada’ actress has joined the likes
of Muyiwa Ademola and Femi Adebayo, who owns film schools in the
ancient city of Ibadan.
