The Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) has called on the federal government to render more support to the creative industry by establishing film villages in states to ensure ease of shooting movies.

Bolaji Amusan, National President of TAMPAN, who made the call in an interview on Sunday in Lagos, noted that to upscale the entertainment industry in Nigeria, film villages were needed where actors could use as their permanent movie locations.

While noting that this would not only protect actors from harassment by hoodlums and urchins while positioning them to work better, he said, “We call on President Bola Tinubu to support us as actors. We want film villages to be built across states to make our work as actors easier.

“The film villages will be used as our movie locations where we can design and redesign to sooth our productions. NAN)
