“Apaara is here to correct societal wrongs. It is a world-class project that will speak for itself,” said film director Damola Olatunji during the unveiling of the artwork for the film, as he expressed admiration for the storyline, characters and producers. “All we need is support and engagement. The multimillion naira project will, among other things, boost economic activities in the state”.
