The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Executive Director and CEO of the National Film and Video Censors Board, Shaibu Husseini disclosed this at a National Stakeholders Engagement on Smoke-Free Nollywood held in Enugu on Wednesday.


The event was organised by the NFVCB and Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa.

Husseini said that today, we are facing an industry emergency requiring bold and ambitious actions from all parents, guardians and stakeholders.

“Others included in the regulation are ritual killings and glamorising other crimes to further sanitise the film industry.
