The CEAN National Chairman, Mr Opeyemi Ajayi , made this known in Lagos.
Ajayi said total viewer admission in cinemas across the federation within the month under review was 218,395.

He encouraged more Nigerians to consider visiting the cinemas during their leisure to unwind.
“We recorded a total sales of N482,528,117 for July with 218,395 viewers in the cinemas.
“The cinemas are not doing bad but we encourage more Nigerians to cultivate the habit of visiting the cinemas,” he said.
