This, he said, is provided for in the Commission’s Collective Management Regulations 2025, which seek to entrench accountability and transparency in the collective management system, ensuring that right owners are fairly remunerated and users have a seamless and trustworthy means of clearing rights. He stated that licensing of public performance rights should be straightforward and driven by good-faith negotiations. Dr. Asein spoke at the colloquium on Copyright Licensing of Public Performance Rights to mark African Copyright and Collective Management Day 2025 held in Abuja last Wednesday. Setting the tone for the session, Dr. Asein said the major focus of the colloquium was the licensing of public performance rights through the collective management system. Collective management succeeds where users are provided clarity and the right owners are treated fairly.
