Anyim in the statement noted that the advocacy visit embarked on by the media literacy team to some schools in Ebonyi was used to nurture the students on the functions always played by the board.
The students were urged by the board to avoid meddling in the rules and regulations governing film and video production, especially by involving themselves in performing or watching pornography, violently related movies and their fancies.
"It was a robust interaction as both students, staff and management staff of the school were impressed with the activities of the program.
"The principal of the school thanked the Board for the wonderful packaged Programme presented to the school. Asked God to bless the Board, staff, management and Executive Director.
