ATCA’s Executive Secretary, Leonce Dieudonne Sessou, who gave the commendation
in a statement yesterday, said the regulation announced by the Nigerian Film
and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, on May 21, 2024, was the first of its kind in
Africa and the second in the world after India.
The body noted that it was also in line with new measures to address
cross-border tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship and the depiction
of tobacco in entertainment media adopted by parties to the World Health
Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) in Panama City
in February 2024.
Backing the Regulations, Sessou said: “We endorse the guidelines, titled
‘Prohibition of Money Ritual, Ritual Killing, Tobacco, Tobacco Product,
Nicotine Product Promotion, Glamorization, Display in Movies, Musical Videos
and Skits’ Regulations 2024.
