Buhari charges Security Agencies To Save Nollywood From Pirates


President 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.

    Awwwwww. Where are all those who said Buhari will not pay attention to Nollywood? Una see now, you were all wrong.

    The man is attending to everyone bit by bit. Honestly I'm surprised this is happening this soon, considering how full his slate is at the moment with more important stuff that need attention. Nice one Mr President.

    Misplacement of priorities.
    That's is the hallmark of this Islamic government.
    Can't Alh Buhari face other more pressing problem facing the country.He should be thinking of at least how to solve the erratic power supply in the country. It has destroyed many businesses.
    Baba go slow is just chasing rats while his house is on fire.

    Please Sir, are we supposed to be talking about Nollywood now or other important issues? Electricity supply in the country is nothing to write home about and you are here talking about Nollly wood. Let learn to prioritise first things first.

    Honestly, I pity nollywood producers and actors. They just labour without favour.

    But if I may ask, can't anybody issue a statement telling the Nigerian police to help curb the piracy menace? During the election period, people said that PMB will strengthen the executive, judiciary and legislative arms of govt. Is this the strengthening or am I to expect another?
