The actor’s journey in the world of cinema began with his academic pursuits, studying film production and cinematic arts at the University of California. Further refining his skills, Nuhu attended training programs at the Asian School of Media Studies in New Delhi and actively participated in prestigious film festivals, including the Zuma Film Festival and the Pyongyang International Film Festival.
While Nuhu has made a mark in mainstream Nollywood with roles in notable films such as “Banana Island Ghost,” “Diamonds in the Sky,” and “Shanty Town,” where he portrayed the Chief’s Lawyer, his contributions to Kannywood are equally significant. Films like “Wasila,” “Mujadala,” and “Sangaja” have solidified his status as a veteran in the Kannywood industry.
