The 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.”
