The filmmaker revealed the thematic focus of his upcoming film as beaming light on sexual harassment on university campuses.

I don't think it is a coincidence that the BBC News, BBC Africa is just talking about a subject matter we have been working on as a film project for almost 2years, ‘CITATION’,” he said.

Continuing, Afolayan hinted on the focus of the film saying, “It’s a University drama surrounding a female postgraduate student who has to find a way of dealing with the awkward situation of sexual harassment from a popular male lecturer.”
