Government Speaks On ‘Sugar Rush’ Ban

Federal Government has eventually bared its mind on its ordered on cinemas to stop showing Banky W’s recently released movie, ‘Sugar Rush’.

In a statement by the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) through its Executive Director, Alhaji Adedayo Thomas, said;

“It has come to our notice that #BringBackSugarRush is currently gaining momentum on Twitter with many speculating a ban on the movie “Sugar Rush” and presuming the supposed action as a sign of government’s intention to stifle creativity.”

“This is however not the case as the President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR @muhammadubuhari led administration @theasovilla is rather in support of the creative industry and has been promoting it as one of the avenues to diversify the nation’s economic base.”

“The movie has not just significantly increased box office #revenues within a short period, but has improved our cinematic culture which are sine qua non for attracting the #investment we so much desire as a nation.”

“I however take responsibility for the gap in communication and the delay in granting final approval as the temporary approval given for the movie exhibition expired before we could release an official statement due to my preoccupation with extant responsibilities and backlog of movies requiring approval as a result of the December rush.”

“I am currently working with the distributor, producer, director and key actors to grant final approval for the resumed exhibition at #cinemas.”

“All hands are on deck and we are committed to serving your entertainment needs within the ambits of the law.”
