Nigerian actor and filmmaker, Saheed Balogun, a Nollywood producer and Director, has urged the National Assembly to expedite action on the passage of an Anti-piracy law so that the industry would be more vibrant.
Balogun said in Lagos that the passage of the law would attract foreign investment into the movie industry.
He said that the delay in the passage of the law was preventing a lot of investors from investing in the sector, unlike what was happening in other African countries that were enjoying the law.
“Once the law is passed, you will see that all our dreams in the movie industry will come true.
“Investors will be begging movie makers because they know that we have the content, we have culture and we have history that can back us up,’’ he said.
The Nollywood director commended the present administration’s move to tackle piracy.
According to him, piracy has discouraged investment in the movie industry.
