The President Muhammadu Buhari might have cancelled plans to build a massive film village in Kano State, following social media outcry and opposition from Muslim clerics, reports BBC.
The President had budgeted more than N3billion ($10m; £7.6m) for the project as part of the government's efforts to improve the Hausa language film industry known as Kannywood.
The government believed that the film village would create thousands of job opportunities and promote cultural activities.
But Muslims clerics argued it would promote immorality and people on social media also called on the government to stop the plan.
An aide to President Buhari told local media that the president has listened to the people's concerns.
