The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) says there is the need to review the law backing the board and movie censorship fee in Nigeria.

Adedayo Thomas, the NFVCB executive secretary, made this known at a stakeholders’ forum in Lagos on Friday.

Mr Thomas said that the NFVCB laws should be reviewed to further professionalise the creative industry, position it to be self regulated and reduce government involvement. “We want to work on reviewing our laws which has not been tampered with for over 20 years and this will be done soon,” he said. The executive secretary said that the review was necessary in view of the recent notification from the Ghana Film Authority , stating that Nigerian filmmakers should always get permission before shooting movies in the country.

He, therefore, stressed that Nigeria needed to create laws that would permit foreigners to get necessary permission before shooting movies within the country.
