NBC has just ordered radio stations to suspend the ban
on Nigerian artistes.

They made some pronouncements on the COSON Vs
BON/IBAN Controversy on Page 55 of The Guardian
Newspaper for Thursday, January 9, 2013.

According to the pronouncements: BON & IBAN
recognize that they are to pay artistes royalties, so they
are obliged to keep adequate logs of all musical works
broadcast by them and make sure they are made
available upon request by relevant authorities
All payments of musical copyright royalties shall be
made to COSON A joint committee of NBC, NCC,
COSON, BON/IBAN will be se up to review all royalty
tariffs and ensure they are fair, reasonable and
according to standards 90 days after the issuance of
these pronouncements, the committee set up above will
conclude its assignment and the tariff they agree on will
be binding on all.

To ensure a conducive atmosphere for this committee to
do a good job, the ban on Nigerian artistes should be
suspended.

NBC will monitor compliance to the agreements
reached as contained in these pronouncements
