This was report was made known by the special assistant on media to the executive director and CEO NFVCB, Joshua Olomu on Saturday in Abuja.
The report for the third quarter of the year captured all films submitted to the board’s offices from across the country.
According to Olomu, Lagos had the highest number of movies produced for the period with 159, while Abuja followed closely with 108 movies and Onitsha with 83 movies.
The analysis by location further showed that Kano had eight, while Port Harcourt and Jos recorded six respectively and Benin had five movies for the period under review.
