Film Corporation begins films, series, documentaries on Armed Forces

The Nigeria Film Corporation (NFC) is set to begin the production of 74 films, Television series and documentaries about the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The Managing Director, Dr Chidia Maduekwe, who stated this during a press conference in Jos on Monday, said this was to showcase the gallantry of the Nation’s military.

Maduekwe said that the project was timely considering the display of gallantry by the military which needed to be recorded for audiences within the country and outside.

“After series of consultations, signing of MOU and exchanges between the NFC and the Defence Department of Civil Military Cooperation, it was agreed that this project was not only desirable but timely.

“Producing these films and documentaries will unlock the potential of our film makers to be able to deploy the appropriate narrative for our armed forces and what they have been able to achieve nationally and internationally.
