The Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC) has dismissed reports alleging that its director/chief executive, Ali Nuhu, has passed away.
The agency’s director of public affairs, Brian Etuk in a statement on Tuesday disclosed that the corporation said the actor-turned-administrator is alive and performing his duties.
The statement reads: “Ali Nuhu is hale and hearty, discharging the responsibilities of the office of NFC’s Chief Executive.
“NFC wishes to draw the attention of perpetrators of these uncouth and dastardly acts, including their sponsors, to the dire and unmistakable consequences of their actions, no matter the innocuousness of their intent.

The statement however thanked members of the public and stakeholders who expressed concern over the development.
