 Stop making movies projecting Nigerians as uncivilised – Yul Edochie tells Nollywood producers Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has urged filmmakers in the country to desist from making movies that project Nigerians as clowns and uncivilised when they travel abroad. He noted that movie producers are tarnishing the image of the country with such storylines. He advised them to rather tell stories where Nigerians travel abroad and proffer “traditional solutions to problems and become leaders over there.” On his Instagram page, Edochie wrote: “I wish our producers will stop making films where Nigerians travel abroad, dey mumu. We sell ourselves short with such storylines. “Oyibo people will never make a movie where a white man is foolish on African soil.

 Suzumu emphasized that financial crimes are a cross-sector issue affecting the development of the economy, society, governance, and peace. He expressed appreciation to the EFCC for its strong commitment and effort towards combating economic and financial crimes  and other acts of corruption, as well as making proposals for broad-based capacity-building programs  for  staff of the EFCC and other Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs in the area of fighting corruption.  


In his response,  Olukoyede pointed out that JICA had shared values and objectives with the EFCC.  "We also stand for sustaining economic development and good governance. In fact, upon my assumption of office, one of my policy objectives was to use the anti-corruption instrumentality to stimulate the economy."


 He also restated the EFCC's efforts aimed at stabilizing the foreign exchange market, stressing that the Commission would not relent in monitoring developments in the sector and prosecute illegal foreign exchange traders causing disruption in the forex market. 


“We are trying to stabilize the foreign exchange market and stimulate growth in the economy. To this effect, companies and entities operating to destroy the economy won’t be allowed to have their ways”, he said.


He also emphasized the importance of preventive frameworks against corruption, maintaining  that, “We are not going to wait for the money to be stolen before taking actions”.


The Chairman also pledged to collaborate with JICA, particularly in the areas of manpower training and development to achieve shared objectives.
