The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed , has denied saying that the Federal Government will ban the overseas production of Nigerian movies and music .
Mohammed noted this on Tuesday evening while reacting to an outcry by artistes over reports saying he hinted at the ban when he visited the headquarters of the Copyright Society of Nigeria in Lagos .
During a briefing at the end of a two -day Creative Industry Financing Conference, with the theme ‘Financing the Film, Television and Music Industries ,’ held at Eko Hotels, Victoria Island , Mohammed said FG would not tamper with the aspirations and rights of the artistes and producers .
He said, “At COSON, I said that I would work to amend the National Broadcasting Commission ’s code to ensure that if a product is designated a Nigerian product , it must be produced in Nigeria . I didn’ t say that , henceforth, all music and films would or must be produced in Nigeria.
“ All I said was that if a programme is designated as a Nigerian content programme , we will amend the code to ensure that it is produced in Nigeria . I didn’ t say I’ ll ban the production of Nigerian movies and videos overseas .”"

The press/social media seems to be doing more harm than good these days... This statement seems more believable than the "FG will ban shooting of videos abroad" statement; how is that even enforceable?

You again lai?

Why you to de lie like this.

Satan will be proud of liar Mohammed

We know him already he might still deny it tomorrow

As usual...say one tin 2dae deny it 2maro.....nobe 2dae e don tey

What a slowpoke!

Lai lai Ntoooooooooor!!!

Even American and British music artiste shoot videos overseas. But I believe a limit should be put on it.

I think has was referring to Big brother naija. It is a Nigerian content and shouldn't have been shot in South Africa even though they are South African organizers.
