Veteran actor Pa James has lauded Wale Adenuga Productions for their professional conduct and prompt payment of actors.
Speaking in a recent conversation with Lucky Udu, Pa James expressed his appreciation for the opportunities he had working on the iconic Papa Ajasco series, citing the production company’s respect for actors and timely compensation.
The actor noted that Wale Adenuga Productions pays its actors promptly, even for minor roles or brief appearances.

Pa James reflected on his time with Papa Ajasco, which lasted longer than expected and brought him notable financial gains, including purchasing a car.
He expressed gratitude for the experience and acknowledged the production company’s role in his success.

“And them no dey owe us money at all. Anything wey we do like this, him go pay. Even if the man call us for meeting like this, after that meeting like this even if the meeting was 5 minutes, he will pay you.
“The day we clocked 25 years for this Papa Ajasco, I dey happy that day.”

Responding, Pa James said: “Ah, I thank God. The thing wey I get for that work, no be small thing. For money, him try for me. From him and Papa Ajasco series, I bought a car.”
This development follows Papa Ajasco’s recent claim that he’s struggling financially, despite having earned money from Wale Adenuga’s series.
The production company has since disputed his claim, providing a statement to refute his claims.
