Renowned Nigerian musician Onyeka Onwenu has disclosed working on a film that will explore her decades of expertise in the music industry.

Onwenu stated this during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Tuesday. With a career dating back to the 1970s, the "elegant stallion" expressed a desire to offer her firsthand account of the growth of Nigerian music.

Onwenu said, "I am currently working on a film that will chronicle my experiences in the music industry from the 70s to the present day. 

Having been a part of this narrative for decades, I have a wealth of stories to share."
In addition to the film project, Onwenu discussed her efforts to release her classic songs through collaboration with emerging artistes, promising fans a compilation of rebranded tracks later in the year.
