The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, announced Balogun’s suspension in a statement on Friday.

The statement read, “The Executive Secretary, Lagos State Film and Video Censors Board, Mr Bamidele Balogun, is said to have announced a 5% levy. The Government hereby dissociates itself from the said announcement in the media.

“The Executive Secretary, who was not authorised to make such an announcement, has been suspended, pending an administrative inquiry.

“The fifth pillar of the THEMES Agenda, the development policy of this administration, is Entertainment and Tourism. Practitioners are partners in our effort to ensure that Lagos State remains Africa’s leader in entertainment.”

The commissioner also noted that the administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu is sensitive to the fact that the industry has been badly hit by the effects of coronavirus pandemic.
