LOL! Coming after multiple bashing from Nigerian celebrities, The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has denied saying that the Federal Government will ban the overseas production of Nigerian movies and music.
“At COSON, I said that I
would work to amend the National Broadcasting Commission’s code to
ensure that if a product is designated a Nigerian product, it must be
produced in Nigeria. I didn’t say that, henceforth, all music and films
would or must be produced in Nigeria.
“All I said was that if a
programme is designated as a Nigerian content programme, we will amend
the code to ensure that it is produced in Nigeria. I didn’t say I’ll ban
the production of Nigerian movies and videos overseas.”
