The website through which potential beneficiaries of the N300 million capacity-building fund for the Nigerian film industry could access the largess will be activated at 12 noon today.

The website is www.projectactnollywood. com.ng.

The development, which is coming after several months of expectations by hundreds of the potential beneficiaries, signals the commencement of the fund as corporate and individual practitioners in various aspects of movie craft and production can apply for various specified grants to boost their skills and capacity.

The capacity-building fund, which was announced recently, is the first part of the N3 billion promised by President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Presidential Intervention Fund, called Project ACT Nollywood, is managed by Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and the Minister of Tourism, Chief Edem Duke.
