Kenya was honoured at this year's edition of the Nigerian International Film and TV Summit which went down last evening in Lagos, Nigeria.

Kenya was accorded the country of honour status.

The Nigerian International film and TV Summit is an international business summit focusing on various aspects of the TV content business with Nigeria.

According to the Kenya Film Classification Board C.E.O Ezekiel Mutua who was present at the event, Kenya will continue partnering with the Nigeria film industry to improve the local industry.\

"KFCB is honoured to have facilitated the strengthening of these ties and will support robust and sustained engagements for co-productions between Kenya and Nigeria" said Mutua.

Adding " We also hope to use the opportunity to strengthen the bonds of friendship between Kenya and Nigeria and explore possibilities for more co-productions".

The distinct honour accorded to Kenya has only been extended to one more country in the past - Côte d’Ivoire.
