The CEAN National Chairman, Opeyemi Ajayi, made this known in Lagos on Wednesday, August 9, 2023.

Ajayi said total viewer admission in cinemas across the federation within the month under review was 218,395.

The chairman stated that cinemas experienced a slight increase in patronage in July due to the numerous public holidays in the month, urging Nigerians to consider visiting the cinemas during their leisure to unwind.
