Contrary to the mis-information being peddled in the
media, particularly the social media, the true situation of affairs at COSON as
of now, is that the COSON Management board consists of:
Mr Efe Omorogbe- Chairman
Mr Audu Maikori- Director
Mr Dare Fasasi- Director
Mrs Azeezat Allen - Director
Mr Ras kimono Onwubuya- Director
Chief Tony Okoroji- Director
Dr Adewale Ayuba- Director
Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Agboola- Director
Mr Joel Ajayi- Director
Mr Obi Asika- Director
Hon John Ewelukwa Udegbunam - Director
This is the position as clearly stated by the NIGERIAN
COPYRIGHT COMMISSION (who are the government agency responsible for regulating
the operations of Collective Management Organisations under the Copyright Act
in Nigeria), after their investigation into the change in the Chairmanship
position of the society during the meeting of the directors on December 7,
2017; and the events at the society's EGM on December 19, 2017.
In the Commission's letter dated February 19, 2018 it
was clearly stated that:
"In view of some observed irregularities in the
Extraordinary General Meeting of COSON held on December 19, 2017, Management of
COSON is directed not to give effect to resolutions taken thereat, except the
resolution on distribution of royalties to members".
There has been no superior pronouncement on the matter,
either by the Minister responsible for supervising the Commission, nor from a
court of proper jurisdiction.
Signed:
Efe Omorogbe
Chairman
