The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to issue a ban on
shooting of music videos as well as movies outside the
country.
The Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed made this
known on Saturday in Lagos when he paid a visit to the
headquarters of the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON).
During his visit, Lai Mohammed said:
‘This government has agreed that henceforth, whatever we
consume in Nigeria in terms of music and films, must be
made in Nigeria”
“We cannot continue to go to South Africa or any other
country to produce our films and then send them back to
be consumed in Nigeria”
“The Broadcasting Code and the Advertising Code are very
clear on this. For you to classify a product as a Nigerian
product, it must have a certain percentage of Nigerian
content.”
Do you think this ban will hold?
