French Embassy’s PISCCA Programme in Nigeria in collaborative support to The Girls’ Voices Initiative, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has set to honour deserving individuals and professionals particularly women in the film industry in Nigeria.

The group pointed out that women in the Nigerian movie industry tell the best of stories, but they are disadvantaged and unable to thrive seamlessly in the industry.
