The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has achieved a historic milestone with the acquisition of a permanent headquarters after 28 years of operating without one.

This landmark achievement, which reflects the Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s creative sector, was made possible through the support of the Honourable Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa Esq.

During a courtesy visit to the Honourable Minister in Abuja, the Director-General of NFVCB, Dr. Shaibu Husseini, expressed heartfelt appreciation for her guidance and intervention which led to the allocation of the property that had been recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2017.

“After nearly three decades, the NFVCB has finally secured a home of its own under the leadership and support of the Honourable Minister,” Dr. Husseini stated.

“This milestone not only strengthens our institutional capacity but also allows us to create a museum dedicated to Nigeria’s audiovisual heritage, which has been a long-standing aspiration.

“We are grateful for the Honourable Minister’s dedication and we pledge our full loyalty and commitment to advancing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda through our statutory mandate.”

Dr. Husseini also expressed optimism that the Ministry would provide continued support for the renovation of the new building so that it fully meets the operational needs of the agency and serves as a vibrant hub for Nigeria’s creative industry.

In her response, Honourable Minister Musawa praised Dr. Husseini’s leadership, describing him as passionate, resilient, and an asset to the creative sector.

She noted that his efforts were already yielding results that align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for empowering Nigeria’s cultural and creative industries.

“I am delighted to celebrate this milestone with the NFVCB. Your doggedness and dedication to the creative sector are commendable and I am proud of the progress being made under your leadership,” Honourable Minister Musawa said.

“This permanent headquarters represents a new era for the board, one that will strengthen our ability to deliver on Mr. President’s vision for the creative economy and showcase Nigeria’s cultural identity globally.”

Looking ahead, the NFVCB revealed plans to establish a museum within the new headquarters, which will showcase Nigeria’s rich film and cultural heritage while also serving as a centre for stakeholders, creatives, and researchers.

The Director-General further invited the Honourable Minister to the board’s forthcoming Digital Conference in November, which will deepen collaboration between the Ministry and the board.

This milestone not only secures a permanent home for the NFVCB but also reinforces the Federal Government’s broader commitment to supporting institutions that drive cultural preservation, creative excellence, and sustainable growth under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
