A capacity-building training program on videography and cinematography, sponsored by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), has been successfully concluded in Delta State.

The five-day training, which ran from February 9th to 13th, was executed by King-Fahji Nig. Ltd., with 50 participants benefiting from the initiative.

The program concluded with a graduation ceremony on February 13th, during which participants received certificates of completion and starter packs to help them launch their careers in videography and cinematography.

Trainees expressed excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, commending NCDMB for providing a platform to acquire valuable, marketable skills.

Speaking at the event, one of the participants said, “This training has opened new doors for us to explore our passion for filmmaking. We are grateful to NCDMB and King-Fahji Nig. Ltd. for this initiative. The skills we have acquired will empower us to create opportunities for ourselves and others.”

The training is part of NCDMB’s ongoing efforts to enhance local capacity and promote the growth of the Nigerian creative sector, particularly the film industry.

By equipping young Nigerians with practical knowledge and experience in videography and cinematography, the board aims to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and employment generation within the sector.

NCDMB has consistently championed initiatives that develop human capacity across Nigeria, focusing on skills that translate into tangible economic opportunities.

The recent training in Delta is another step toward ensuring that local talent can compete globally while contributing to the nation’s economy.

The participants, who represented various communities in Delta State, were trained in both technical and creative aspects of videography, including shooting techniques, editing, storytelling, and production management.

This comprehensive approach ensures that trainees are well-prepared to produce professional content and engage in diverse opportunities within the film and media industries.

The programme concluded with a pledge by the participants to leverage the skills gained to generate employment and contribute positively to Nigeria’s creative economy.

As NCDMB continues to support capacity-building initiatives, programs like these are expected to enhance the local workforce, empower youths, and position Nigeria as a hub for creative excellence in Africa.
