A Lagos-based socio-cultural group, Iwere Knights Association, has commended the election of a Nigerian film maker, Mr. Alex Eyengho, as the Vice-President of the International Federation of Film Producers Association (FIAPF).
.
He was elected to the position in May 2013 during the last General Assembly of FIAPF in Cannes, France.
.
The group, in a statement made available to newsmen, said the election of Eyengho, who is also the President of the Association of Nollywood Core Producers (ANCOP), into the global motion picture outfit, had boosted the global recognition of the Nigerian movie industry.
.
The statement, signed by the association's President and Secretary, Mr. Taiye Ajiyen, and Mr. Tosan Clarke, respectively, hinted that the election of Eyengho as the first African and Nigerian to that exalted position confirmed the superiority and global recognition of Nigerian movie industry.
Our Nigerian film-makers are doing well but they are not there yet....There are still some things they would have to correct to make things nicer.
