The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) and the Film Distributors Association of Nigeria (FDAN) have entered into a strategic collaboration aimed at addressing distribution challenges and fostering growth in Nigeria’s film industry.
Executive director of NFVCB, Dr Shaibu Husseini, disclosed this after a meeting with a “high-powered” delegation of FDAN led by its president, Mrs Joy Odiete, in Lagos.
Husseini shared a photo from the meeting on Instagram on Wednesday with the caption: “NFVCB and FDAN Join Forces to Elevate Nigerian Film Industry”.
He said the renewed partnership would help propel the industry forward through innovation and shared commitment.
“The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) and the Film Distributors Association of Nigeria (FDAN) have agreed to collaborate to address the distribution challenges and foster growth in the sector.
“The high-level engagement focused on identifying industry challenges and developing actionable solutions to enhance film distribution and cinema growth.
