The President, Association of Movie Producers, Zik Okafor, said that plans were on by the film industry to build a Nollywood Village.<\/p>\n

Okafor told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Tuesday that the gesture was to mark Nollywood\u2019s forthcoming 20 years anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

“We want to set up the Nollywood house, build a magnificent edifice with the inscription `Nollywood\u2019 on it as they have in other climes.<\/p>\n

“So that when anybody comes to Nigeria, there is a place they can go and say this is Nollywood village and can get what they want in one place.<\/p>\n

“We have been operating from our homes, so we should have a base where we can be located,\u2019\u2019 Okafor said.<\/p>\n

According to him, we want a place that can contain television actors, different guild associations, creative designers and so many others in the same environment.<\/p>\n

The president said the place, where the village would be sited, would be announced during the anniversary.<\/p>\n

Okafor said a Nollywood foundation would also be set up to cater for veterans in the industry.<\/p>\n
