It was noted that Igbo language films were not represented in the awards and the head of Jury of BON awards, Niran Adedokun reacted saying "The process started in July and with over 100 movies entered for nomination consideration. BON is interested in the promotion of films in Nigerian languages as filmmaking is a tool for preservation. But we struggle to get entries in other languages other than Yoruba so I encourage producers to employ more of our languages and sunlit them for awards."[3]
