The Performing Musicains Employers Association of Nigeria
(PMAN ) has been monitoring closely the shameful display of disregard for the
RULE OF LAW “ being perpetuated by former COSON Chairman , Chief Tony Okoroji
who has refused to step aside as Chairman after being voted out by a valid
Governing Board, and has continued to treat with contempt the Pronouncements
and directives of NIGERIAN COPYRIGHT COMMISSION (NCC) the Agency that regulates
and License CMOs in Nigeria . It has become evident that Chief Okoroji has
become a law unto himself, and COSON cannot be regulated under his leadership.
Mr Tony Okoroji
PMAN hereby sternly warns Chief Okoroji to desist from
this recurring act of impunity that threw PMAN into crisis years back when he
Tony Okoroji was then PMAN President , the Union is yet to recover fully from
the crises Okoroji created decades ago at PMAN, and history will not judge him
favourably for the intense damage done to PMAN' s image
PMAN is currently consulting with Entertainment industry
stakeholders to decide on line of actions to be taken in this matter,
stakeholders are particularly concerned about the collateral damage this crisis
will inflict on the collective management system in particular and creative
enterprise in general.
PMAN reiterates that the only way to put a stop to this
trend of mushroom monopoly In the entertainment industry is the establishment
of an electronic monitoring and regulating mechanism that will ensure that each
media item being exploited within the ecosystem goes through designated channel
that ensures transparency.
PMAN calls on the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) to
perform its statutory duty as the Regulator of COSON, and compel Okoroji and
his cronies to comply with the Rule of Law and give way for the new Chairman of
COSON, Efe Omorogbe to take charge of the affairs of the organisation as
required by law and in line with COSON's MEMART.
