“We in the corporation will not accept this exploitation and will soon start screening all films before they are marketed.
“Only films that meet the standards set by the corporation will be allowed in the market.
“It will no longer be business as usual; we will put our control mechanism in place in the industry,” he warned
Dadu said the sector had the capacity to generate revenue and jobs for many, and therefore urged operators in the sector, to cooperate with the corporation in its at repositioning the industry for the benefit of all. (NAN)
