In a significant move to foster a positive media environment, the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has agreed to collaborate with the Catholic Church in Nigeria to promote a healthy screen culture. The partnership was announced during a visit by a delegation from the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, led by the National Director of Communication, Very Rev. Fr. (Dr.) Michael Nsikak Umoh, to the NFVCB headquarters in Abuja.

While welcoming the delegation, Dr. Shaibu Husseini, the Executive Director of the NFVCB, expressed the Board’s commitment to the collaboration. “Let it be known that you have found a willing partner, because the Catholic Church in Nigeria already has a structure that supports and reinforces our work in the area of classification and media literacy,” he stated. Dr. Husseini emphasized the Board’s openness to partnerships that will help instill a culture of responsible media consumption among Nigerians.
Fr. Umoh, a U.S.-certified media expert, thanked the NFVCB for its willingness to collaborate with the Church. He highlighted the potential impact of the partnership, stating, “this singular gesture grants the Board access to a ready audience of about 30-40 million Catholics in Nigeria, over 4,000 parishes, and 59 Dioceses.” He further explained that the Catholic Bishops Conference has always been keenly interested in the media’s role in society and is determined to work with the NFVCB to ensure the media space remains conducive to societal well-being. Fr. Umoh noted, “The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria deeply appreciates the Board’s efforts in promoting values in society to ensure that film and media contents conform to our cultural and moral standards”.
