Entertainers meet FG over unspent film fund

Nigerian Entertainers
TVC E – A group of Nigerian entertainers last Friday met the federal government following the recent lull in the disbursement of what is left of the N3billion World Bank intervention fund for the Nigerian film industry.

Led by notable film marketer, Gab Okoye, aka Gabosky, the group, expressed concerns over the N1.9 billion left of the grant, saying that the sum, having been earmarked for Innovative Distribution Fund (IDF) remains the most important aspect of the scheme, tagged Project ACT Nollywood.

Former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had approved the disbursement of N300million and N800million for capacity building and film production respectively.

According to Gabosky, the new leadership is still looking in the direction of possible misappropriations, thereby neglecting the most important aspect of the grant.
