The Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has entered into partnership with the Musical Copyright Society Nigeria Ltd/Gte (MCSN) aimed at enhancing the living standards of Nigerian musicians and other creative people.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the President of PMAN, Mr Pretty Okafor, explained that the union decided to give its full support to MCSN because PMAN and the society have identical goals which border on the welfare and wellbeing of the musicians, adding that it makes sense for the two bodies to work together because the welfare of musicians is paramount to both.
He urged musicians to give the initiative full support to ensure that it succeeds in its functions of collecting and distributing royalties on behalf of musicians in the country without any hindrance.
In his remarks,Chief Executive Officer of MCSN, Mr Mayo Ayilaran, said the agreement between MCSN and PMAN underscores the fact that the musicians’ union has fully thrown its weight behind the society in its function of collecting royalties and creating a clear path for the creation of wealth and prosperity for the Nigerian musician and the creative industry at large.
“With this collaborative effort, collections of royalties from users of music will be a lot easier because the musicians who benefit from the royalty collections are now a part of it. And as a Society the only thing we owe the musicians is transparency, which will ultimately lead to prosperity,” he added.
