The new copyright act aims to address these challenges by providing a more robust legal framework to protect creators’ works and incentivise innovation within the creative industries. The objectives include protecting the rights of authors to ensure just rewards and recognition for their intellectual works, providing appropriate limitations and expectations to guarantee access to creative works, facilitating Nigerians’ compliance with obligations arising from international copyright treaties and conventions, and to ensure the capacity of NCC for effective regulation, administration and enforcement of the Act.
