Tunde Kelani to chair censors board, Joke Silva appointed member

Tunde Kelani has been appointed the chairman of the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB).

Kelani, a celebrated filmmaker, was named head of the NFVCB on Friday when President Muhammadu Buhari appointed 209 chairmen and 1258 board members for federal agencies and government parastatals.

Veteran actress Joke Silva was also appointed a member of the board. It is the second such appointment for Silva.

In April 2017, Akinwunmi Ambode, the Lagos governor, appointed Silva into the state board for council of arts and culture.

Another Nollywood old-timer, Keppy Ekpenyong, was also named a member of the NFVCB.
