Renowned Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo has lambasted Rivers state’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism over its new law on the Nigerian entertainment industry.
She blasted the Ministry over the new law that stipulates consent and a written permission to host entertainment shows and hospitality events within the state.
The former special adviser on youth affairs to Peter Odili, a former governor of Rivers State, shared a video on her Instagram page @hildadokubo, in which she branded the Ministry as ‘ridiculous and stupid’.
She said, “The Ministry of Culture and Tourism finds an ingenious way of stifling innovation and creativity in Rivers State that will encourage touts and thieves to extort money from genuine hard working and honest citizens.
“They have gone rogue! Totally.
“You just do not know the times and seasons. International agencies say Nigeria’s biggest economy is Entertainment and not oil.
“Rivers state is looking for ways to reform her economy and you are being so ridiculous and stupid.
“We must fight back to save the entertainment industry, practitioners and her entrepreneurs,” she added. dailypost
