The Managing Director of the Nigeria Film Corporation, NFC, Jos, Dr Chidia Madukwe, has said that the movie industry is turning Nigeria from the wrong narrative of being the ‘poverty capital’ of the world into becoming the ‘creativity capital’ of the world.
” The world is talking of Nigeria as the poverty capital but we in the film industry are saying no; we are the creative capital of the world.” Today, both Google and Netflix are all rushing into Nigeria to have the content that we are generating. The NFC boss noted that the corporation under his watch had also broken new grounds in terms of training manpower for the entertainment industry.
Dr. Maduekwe hinted that “NFC is creating film entrepreneurial hub” in the six geopolitical zones of the country expected to take off next year.
