Members of the Delta Indigenous Film-makers, DIF, have been called upon to apply their creative energy and skill in projecting the policies and programmes of the oborevwori administration, as well as in value re-orientation of the residents of the state.

This call was made recently by the state Commissioner for information, Dr Ifeanyi Osuoza, when he received on courtesy visit, the chairman and members of the Delta indigenous film makers, in his office in Asaba.

Osuoza welcomed the offer of collaboration from the film-makers, especially in the areas of production of public educational jingles and documentaries to project the developmental effort of the state government.
“From time to time we can collaborate to produce jingles or documentaries. My office is open for collaboration that will be mutually beneficial.”

Earlier, the chairman of Delta Indigenous Film-makers, Mr. Franklyn Nwoko, lamented what he termed the misrepresentation of his members whom he described as professionals who ply their trade in Nigeria film industry, also known as Nollywood.

He expressed the desire of the body to partner with the ministry in showcasing the policies and programmes of the state government.
“It is important that indigenous film-makers in Delta State are recognized and have visibility, and the opportunity to contribute to the development of the state,” Mr. Nwoko said.
