Dadu acknowledged the giant strides recorded by his predecessors in office, and stressed that no stone will be left unturned to ensure that he (Dadu) contributes his quota to the growth of the Nigerian Film Corporation and the Nigerian Film Industry.

Staff, the new NFC boss said, is the basic asset of any organization that seeks to succeed and deliver on its mandate, and as such, he would in the execution of the mandates pay attention to staff welfare, skills development, capacity building, training and re-training, so as to enhance and improve on performance output of staff for better efficiency and productivity.
