Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has promised that his ministry will do its best to ensure the establishment of the Motion Picture Council of Nigeria, MOPICON, in order to effectively regulate Nigeria’s budding Movie industry commonly referred to as Nollywood.
Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture has revealed that the Federal Government has taken concrete steps to ensure that monies recovered in the anti-corruption drive were not re-looted.
As the June 2017 deadline for the switch-over from analogue to Digital Terrestrial Television, DTT, broadcasting draws nearer, the Nigerian government is set to abandon the country’s first communication satellite – the Nigeria Communication Satelite, NIGCOMSAT1 – which had gulped about $362 million, about N144 billion.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has denied reports circulating in the social media that N3.4 billion was budgeted for the recently-launched national reorientation campaign “Change Begins With Me”.
The ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to revive the nation's economy will not yield positive results unless the fight against corruption is also intensified, says Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.
