"We are currently submitting this to film festivals across the globe and in the very near future hold private virtual screenings due to the covid19 restrictions", Etukudo said.

"The film will be made public once the covid19 restrictions are eased so that we can reach a section our target audience who mostly do not have access or cannot afford the internet, hence they can’t watch on any streaming platform".

'Zubaida' was shot in both Abuja and Niger state.
