WE WONT DO BUSINESS WITH UNREGISTERED PRACTITIONERS-NFVCB

-


A warning had been given to all practitioners in the movie industry to get registered with the National Film and Video censors Board (NFVCB) or they risk being blacklisted.  



This warning was handed down on Wednesday in Lagos by the Director General of the NFVCB, Alhaji Adedayo Thomas at an interactive session with professional groups and guilds, where he reiterated that all guilds are to coordinate the registration of their members with the board.. 


He disclosed that the directive has become imperative inorder to restore sanity to the industry and save it from influx of none professionals into the movies world thereby denying the core professionals from enjoying the sweat of their labour,stressing that the directive for registration is in tandem with Act 17, subsection 2 and 3 of the board. 


According to him*few months ago,we called on guilds and associations to come and revalidate or register their members. The minister of information and culture has been magnanimous enough to give an extension of two months to the initial deadline,which elapsed in January.  


Continuing"this policy will assist the government to identify  those who are producing,directing , acting and marketing.."


Alhaji Thomas informed that that the policy is even more beneficial to the association's as it helps to strengthen them to know who is doing what. 


He mentioned that any practitioner who refuses to register will be sanctioned and pulled out of business as the board wants the best for genuine practitioners in the industry. 


He equally announced that so far,thirteen professional bodies have so far registered with the board ,unlike the unwieldy scenario in the past where there were over a thousand associations.  


Prominent practitioners in the industry were present at the interactive session ,where the issue of hate speech was also discussed.
