In a recent development aimed at strengthening digital security and preventing data loss, renowned Nigerian actor and filmmaker Ali Nuhu, also the Managing Director of the Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC), took the stage at a prominent event to present a significant partnership. He delivered an insightful presentation on “Data Loss and NFC’s Partnership with the German Government and Institutions”, emphasizing the joint efforts to safeguard important data through innovative strategies.

This collaboration highlights NFC’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology in preserving Nigeria’s rich film culture and archives. Ali Nuhu’s speech served as an opportunity to showcase the steps being taken by NFC to prevent data loss and ensure the digitization of valuable assets. This is especially crucial in an era where data protection and cybersecurity are becoming essential in every field.

Key points of the partnership include the acquisition and maintenance of over 20,000 titles, digitization efforts for fragile formats such as VHS and Beta tapes, and the provision of technical assistance in restoring and archiving essential materials for research and historical purposes. These actions are instrumental in safeguarding Nigerian film heritage for future generations.
