Nigeria’s proposed copyright levy reform, which allocates 50 percent of collections to rights owners, marks a significant shift in creative sector management. While aimed at artists and labels, industry experts are calling for a more inclusive framework that recognizes the entire value chain—including producers, songwriters, and technical staff. Advocates emphasize that a transparent, tech-driven royalty distribution system, supported by robust metadata and standardized contracts, is essential to ensure equitable compensation for all contributors beyond just headline performers.
