NCC signs MoU with publishers, booksellers

The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding(MoU) with the Nigerian Publishers Association (NPA) and the three major booksellers associations in Lagos.

The event was also used to flag off NCC’s Monitoring and Documentation programme.

“With the signing of this MoU and the commencement of the monitoring and documentation programme, it is our hope that everyone will subscribe to a higher standard of vigilance and respect for copyright across all sectors of the creative industry,” NCC Director-General, Dr. John Asein, said.

The event attracted scores of major publishers and hundreds of booksellers under the auspices of the three major booksellers associations, namely the Booksellers Association Ajegunle Lagos State (BAALS), Integrity Book-Sellers Association of Nigeria and Booksellers Association Yaba.
