Feelers from the presidency suggest that President Muhammadu Buhari has abandoned his proposed plan to build a multi billion naira film village in Kano.
The Buhari administration is said to have earmarked more than N3 billion for the project as part of its efforts to improve the Hausa language film industry known as Kannywood.
The government had also planned to create job opportunities and promote the culture of the people through the project.
However, following strident protesters from Muslim clerics who argued that the proposed film village would promote immorality, the president appears to have put the project in the cooler.
According to a presidential aide, Buhari being a listening president has considered the opinion of the people.
