On the occasion of the glorious beginning of the celebrations of the 46th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the Cultural Consultation of our country in Nigeria has prepared a series of programs for the decade of the dawn of the Islamic Revolution for this year. 

In this regard, the Cultural Consultation of our country has introduced the artistic achievements of Islamic Iran in the creative film industry in this country, benefiting from local capacities, institutions, organizations and networks throughout the country of Nigeria. In this regard, with the planning made at the beginning of the decade of the dawn of the Islamic Revolution, the "Iranian Film and Cinema Day at the University of Abuja"  was held for the first time in this university.

Islamic Iran has made many amazing advances in all aspects, including in the field of aerospace, medical sciences, technology and technology, etc.  and one of these areas is the creative arts and industry, i.e. film and cinema, which Nigerians understand better than others because of their Nollywood presence.
