Nigerian Film Corporation is a government-owned agency that regulates Nigerian films. It was established in 1979 under decree number 61 of the 1979 constitution. The NFC operates as a parastatal of the Federal Government of Nigeria, overseen by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture. Governed by an enabling Act, the Corporation is mandated to establish a robust framework for fostering a thriving and enduring film industry and cinema culture in Nigeria. Through its initiatives, the Corporation actively contributes to the socio-economic advancement of the nation. Currently, the Corporation is undergoing transformation processes to align with the African Union charter on communication and audiovisual, to evolve into a Film Commission.
