The Directors’ Guild Of Nigeria
(DGN) is built on the notion of bringing creative minds together through film,
television and new media. It also serves to protect the interests of all
members of the directing team.
In an effort to follow the latest
government advice on Corona-virus (COVID-19) that all productions and workplaces
should incorporate the latest guidance from the Federal, State, and Local
Authorities in order to minimize the possibility of virus transmission, DGN is taking all precautionary measures.
The DGN@20 Anniversary Celebration scheduled for April 23rd-25th 2020 in FCT, Abuja has been postponed and a new date will be announced. We are incredibly grateful to our Grand patron, patrons, partners, sponsors and volunteers; and we look forward to working together in the coming months.
The DGN President instructs all
members to cease filming, cancel non-critical group meetings and conform to
Government’s directives in combating the Corona-virus pandemic. All Zonal
Chairmen are to ensure that Zones adhere to all Isolation and Lock-down
directives according to their States.
The DGN Secretariat has been shut
down and all Guild activities suspended indefinitely. Members of the Executive
committee will however continue to work from home through the Internet.
The President, Olorogun Fred Amata
stated that, “DGN is conferring with public health authorities, other
Guilds and Associations to gather information as the situation continues to
evolve, and we will continue to reassess plans and communicate accordingly.”
Health and Safety continue to be our
top priority. Members and colleagues, specifically those that attended last
week’s AMVCA should observe strict procedure processes of good hygiene, self
isolation and report any apprehensive health issues to NCDC on
08097000010.
While
the days ahead may seem cloudy, Covid-19 as reports have shown is
not a death sentence. People recover. Brace yourself and boost your immune
system. Stay healthy. Stay at home.
We will weather this storm together!!!
