Prof. AbdulRsheed Na’ Allah, Vice-Chancellor, Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, affirmed this, stating that 'he has inaugurated a committee for the establishment of the centre for Nollywood studies in the University'.
He disclosed this on Monday, while giving an opening address at the Conference on African Cinema, tagged; “African Cinema and the Supernatural”, organised by the University.
He said that when operational, the centre would perform the responsibility of pointing out the
role and effect of Nollywood films in the society.

scholars and those who promote culture outside the university.
