A total of 151 films were approved by the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) for the month of June 2025 against 53 films earlier reported erroneously.

This monthly classification underscores a noticeable dominance of 18-rated titles and English-language productions.

This signals a tilt toward more mature content in Nigeria’s fast-evolving film industry.

It also reflects the increasing pace of local film production across regions and genres.

The approval also revealed the growing consistency of top production houses like ROK Studios, Silverbird Distribution, and OSSYKing Movies, who featured prominently in this month’s listings.

Executive Director of the NFVCB, Dr. Shaibu Husseini reaffirmed the Board’s stance on guiding responsible storytelling and content regulation.

“We are committed to encouraging stories that reflect Nigeria’s values and cultural richness while ensuring public safety through proper classification,” he said.

Breakdown of classifications from the Censors Board website shows that 71 were classified as rated-18 years, out of the 151 films approved.

62 films were rated 15, thirteen movies got an age 12- rating, 3 films were marked ‘G’ for general viewing and two of the movies were classified PG (Parental Guidance).

This classification points to a growing shift toward mature, emotionally complex storytelling, with 18-rated titles accounting for nearly half of the approved films.

English-language productions accounted for the bulk of the approvals, continuing their stronghold as Nollywood’s dominant medium.

However, a fair share of Yoruba and Igbo titles also made the list, reaffirming the role of indigenous voices in the cinematic landscape.

Notably approved indigenous-language films include Obim (Igbo), Iyawo Eniyan and Ajegunle Lawa (Yoruba) and Itene (Idoma).

There was no hausa-language films approved during the month, marking a recurring gap in representation from the North.

However, Itene produced in Idoma, was one of the few from the Middle Belt.

Among studios with multiple entries include ROK Studios had a strong presence with films like Perfect Wife, Strings of Love, Hidden Truth and My Sugar Daddy, primarily rated 15 and 18.

Silverbird Distribution secured approvals for Rebirth of King Kong and Jurassic World Rebirth, both notable for their international appeal. OSSYKing Movies had a consistent output with Stray Bullet, Palace of Torment, and The Cost of a Lie, all within the 15–18 range.

“The industry is evolving fast, and we are here to guide that growth with fairness and professionalism,” Dr. Husseini added.

With the June 2025 classification update, the NFVCB continues its monthly tradition of promoting transparency, regulatory compliance, and cultural reflection through film.

Stakeholders are optimistic that the rising numbers signal stronger investment in creative content and improved distribution frameworks.
