It’s offence to release skit, without our classification – NFVCB

National Films and Videos Censors Board (NFVCB) has reiterated that releasing skits, films, or music videos without classification from the Board is an offence.
The NFVCB’s classification system assigns age ratings and content advisories to audiovisual content, aiding families in making informed viewing choices and protecting children from unsuitable material.
In May, the NFVCB announced its plans to extend its classification requirements to include skits and music videos.
The Board led by its executive director Shaibu Husseini in a statement warned content creators against distributing unclassified material.
The statement reads in part, “It is also an offence to distribute or exhibit any film or video content including skits and musical videos on any platform without recourse to the National Film and Video Censors Board for classification.”
He stated that the board is working closely with security agencies to identify and prosecute violators.
“We are collaborating with relevant security agencies to track the individuals and production companies involved, and will stop at nothing to make sure they face the full wrath of the law,” it read.
The NFVCB also condemned the promotion and distribution of same-sex content on social media, reminding filmmakers and content creators that it is illegal to publicly exhibit same-sex relationships in Nigeria.
