Naura, Hausa ICT Film Released, Licensed by Censors Board

The recently released Naura, a Hausa film made to provide an innovative way to raise awareness on use of computer and information technology to the public especially the youth, has been licensed by Kano State Censorship Board.
The film was produced by the Centre for Information Technology and Development (Citad), featuring three village children whose characters reflect intelligence rather than what the villagers feel about them (naughty children).
Ikilima, Abdul and Aminu encounter Naura, a computer, which transforms into human form and tells them fascinating stories about itself and its benefits to humanity.
The film was earlier registered by the National Film and Video Censorship Board, and is aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of information and communication technology (ICTs), especially among children and youth using easily accessible means..
The story basically takes us through the history of the computer, its different parts, functions, uses and the types of professional engagements that people could aspire for in the information technology sector.
Created in an atmosphere that fosters learning, combining emotional appeal and funny effects, it is meant to target children between the ages 7 to 16, and even beyond.
Directed by Malam Ibrahim B. Lawal and produced by Sani Uba, both cast and crew young people in their prime who have seen the benefits of ICT.
Naura is non-commercial and will be formally presented to the public in October.
