The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has directed filmmakers to always seek proper approval from the management before using corps members’ uniforms in their movies.
NYSC Assistant Director of Legal Services Mr. Christian Oru, who gave the directives, during a meeting between the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) and creative industry stakeholders in Lagos, warned that illegal use of its uniform in movies would no longer be tolerated
According to Oru, filmmakers will be expected to submit an application letter, stating exactly what the uniform would be used for, and that they must acknowledge NYSC in the movie asides from submitting their scripts to enable them to observe how NYSC would be represented in the movie.
