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?
