The Covid-19 precautionary measures have forced the hands of many Productions and Movie premiers over the past few weeks. Almost no business venture has escaped unscathed by the challenges created by the deadly virus. Cinemas have suspended services in Lagos, film sets have shut down as filmmakers adhere to governments advice on self-isolation.

While IDAfrica and The NECLIve organising committee will work on plans remotely, they said, they will reduce or completely avoid all non-essential meetings on gatherings.

A new date for the NECLive8 conference will be announced later. For info on the refund process, go to nec.ng
