Pres. Buhari charges security agencies to crack down on Nollywood movie pirates

Statement from the Presidency...
Pesident Muhammadu Buhari has directed law enforcement agencies to step up their efforts to curb the menace of pirates in Nigeria's entertainment industry so that artistes can enjoy the fruits of their labour. President Buhari gave the directive after receiving a briefing from the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan and her Directors Tuesday in Abuja.

“Nollywood is making progress. We should work with them. Unless they are backed, they will be ruined by pirates who want to reap where they have not sowed. "They have built an industry with their own sweat. It is therefore incumbent on us to give them the necessary support,” President Buhari said.

He charged law enforcement agencies to identify the perpetrators of copyright piracy, their sponsors and collaborators, and bring them to justice. President Buhari also charged the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) to tap into the opportunities presented by their wide reach to shore up their revenue profiles.

    I don't think anyone in their right mind would be interested in pirating that crap . Majority of Nollywood movies (99%) r full of shit n the producers n co r quite happy with their mediocrity .

    If anything is getting pirated I wud say maybe.....Nigerian music , apart 4rm that, I don't think pirates wud make more than 1k from selling that shit . So mr. president focus on more important things ....... nollywood, ......they're irrelevant .

You are saying he should concentrate on better things. So Nollywood is not a better thing? You are such an unpatrotic citizen. It is people like you that kill the govt. Senseless idiot
