“It’s an offence to release skit, music video without NFVCB classification” – FG

The National Films and Videos Censors Board (NFVCB) has issued a stern warning to content creators, cautioning that releasing music videos, skits, and films without prior classification is a violation of regulations.

The NFVCB’s classification system is designed to assign age-appropriate ratings and content advisories to audiovisual content, empowering families to make informed decisions about their viewing choices and shielding children from inappropriate material.

In an earlier interview, NFVCB Director General Shaibu Husseini announced the expansion of the board’s classification requirements to encompass music videos and skits, in addition to films.

“It is also an offence to distribute or exhibit any film or video content, musical videos and skits on any platform without recourse to the National Film and Video Censors Board for classification.

“We are collaborating with relevant security agencies to track any individuals and production companies involved to make sure they face the full wrath of the law”.
