Get approval before using Youth Corpers uniform in nollywood movies — NYSC tells filmmakers
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has urged filmmakers to always seek proper approval before using corps members’ uniform while shooting their movies.
Mr Christian Oru, NYSC Assistant Director of Legal Services, said this in Lagos during a meeting between National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) and creative industry stakeholders on enabling laws and strengthening of professional guilds and associations
“For any film maker that wants any of his casts to wear the corps members’ uniform while shooting movies, we require that you write an application letter to NYSC to indicate your interest.
We also demand that you submit your script to us for proper vetting to know how NYSC will be represented.
We know the script is your copyright and we will do everything to ensure confidentiality,” he said.
Oru also noted that filmmakers will pay administrative handling charges before the use of the uniforms.
“We want a token from what you generate from the production of such movies where our uniforms are used, this is known as administrative charges.
This is because we spend money to produce these uniforms, we will like to work with you and we promise that we will all be on the same page to ensure we are developing the industry and the nation as well,” he said.
