Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), the nation’s only government approved copyright collective management organisation for musical works and sound recordings, is boycotting the British Council Creative Industries Expo holding at Westown Hotel, Ikeja, on Monday, December 8 and Tuesday December 9. The decision to boycott the event was taken by the board of COSON, which met in Lagos recently.
COSON has, therefore, begun a major campaign requesting its members across the country, all creative people in Nigeria, their fans and all lovers of music to boycott Westown Hotel until further notice.
COSON, which in the past had participated actively in the British Council Creative Industries Expo and was billed to participate in this year’s event, has already contacted the British Council, informing it of the boycott and the reason.
