The Film Distributors Association of
Ghana has threatened it may also ban the distribution of Nigerian movies in
Ghana if its counterparts in Nigeria goes ahead to ban the distribution of Ghanaian movies.
Nigeria’s Film, Video Producers and
Marketers Association (FVPMAN) has placed an embargo on Ghanaian films with
effect from the end of this month.
The association said the decision
was taken because a similar directive was being enforced in Ghana, but the Vice President of the Film Distributors
Association of Ghana, Abdul Sallam Mumuni, told Citi News no such directive was
in place in Ghana.
“According to them, Ghanaian
marketers are not selling their movies, but this is not true. Personally I
believe Ghanaian movies
are a threat to their movies because we have overtaken them in the industry,”
he opined.
The Film Distributors Association of
Ghana was scheduled to have a meeting yesterday to deliberate on the way
forward to prevent the ban.
Abdul Sallam Mumuni warned, “We will
arrange a meeting with the Nigerians, but if they still hold on to their
decision we will do same here in Ghana.”
