President Muhammadu Buhari has advised Nigerian filmakers against promoting violence and glamourising “sexual vulgarity” in their movies.

The president urged movie practitioners to endeavour to always project the country in a positive light.

Buhari sent the message to the movie industry in a foreword written in a brochure on the film industry.

The brochure was titled, “Nigerian Film Industry at a Glance” and it was published by the Africa Film Academy.

Buhari was quoted to have said: “The Nigerian film industry that is now called Nollywood, in the fashion of the American, Hollywood and Indian, Bollywood started as the effort of a group of enterprising young men and women who traded on their talents and sheer determination without anyone paying attention.

“It has now metamorphosed into a big industry employing thousands of people, contributing to the national Gross Domestic Product and empowering a new generation of creative entrepreneurs.”

“Our government will continue to support the creative sectors of its economy so as to encourage our teeming youths while we enjoin our filmmakers to continue to project the image of Nigeria and the continent of Africa in a positive way through their story lines. Filmmakers should not make films for art sake. Films should be functional and socially relevant.”
