The Nigerian Government has out aside plans to build a world-class and ultra-modern film village in Kano following criticisms made by Muslim clerics who said the village would promote immorality.
The government had set aside 3 billion Naira for the construction of the Muhammadu Buhari Film Village at Kofa in Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State, that will provide over 10,000 jobs to Nigerian citizens and also increase revenue generation to Kano state in particular.
Some Muslim social media users also opposed the move using the hashtags #FilmVillage or #ImmoralityVillage #WeSayNoToFilmVillageInKano, for same 'immorality' reason.
The project was scheduled to take place in three phases and N1billion for the commencement of the first phase of the film village was budgeted, stated the Managing Director Nigerian Film Corporation Danjuma Wurim Dadu, during a stakeholders interaction session held at Tahir Guess Palace hotel.
