Nigerian Elected First African VP Of Worlds Film Producers Body by aburo7: 2:34pm On May 20, 2013
Nigerian filmmaker and President of the Association of Nollywood Core Producers (ANCOP), Mr. Alex Eyengho has been elected as the Vice President of the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF). With his election, Mr. Eyengho made history as the first African to occupy the high office in FIAPF.
Created in 1933, FIAPF is the only existing global trade organization dedicated to the defense and promotion of the legal, economic and creative interests of film producers throughout the world. FIAPF is to film producing at global level what Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) is to the game of football.
The election of Eyengho came during the General Assembly of FIAPF held in Cannes, France on May 18, 2013. It would be recalled that through the efforts and platform of ANCOP, Nigeria was in May 2011 officially admitted into the membership of FIAPF during the Cannes International Film Festival in France.
While addressing international journalists shortly after his election, Mr. Eyengho who thanked FIAPF members from over 28 countries of the world for the confidence reposed in him with the election, stated that his victory was not for ANCOP alone but for Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

Some nigerians are really making us proud while Boko Haram is busy destroying the image of this country.
