Film makers and film making in Nigeria

This paper presents the problems of film makers and film making in Nigeria and points out how the problems are militating against the prospects of the Nigerian film industry. It proposes a radical restructing of the film industry in Nigeria in order to facilitate its indigenous development. To this end, it suggests the nationalization of the film distribution and exhibition sections so as to achieve a viable integration of the whole industry and to promote it as a vehicle for cultural-and socio-economic development of the people of Nigeria.
