Aki & Pawpaw banned In Ghana; Nollywood Actors Need Work Permit
According to sources, the duo were recently prevented from taking part
in a movie production in Kumasi Ghana simply because they’re Nigerians
who require work permit to operate in the country.
The case is
creating disaffection between authorities and fans from both countries
due to lack of fair bilateral film policy as no Ghanaian has been banned
in Nigeria for lacking work permit.
FIPAG’s Public Relations Officer Mr. Michael Ola, who tried to douse
possible tension, said the decision to stop the actors was because the
director of the movie breached the association’s regulations, by not
letting the actors know that they need a work permit to be part of any
production in Ghana.
They were,therefore, advised to return to
Nigeria to obtain an official work permit, and be ready to make payments
for the continuation of the shoot.
