Collecting society royalties in Nigeria
Distributors collect streaming royalties for your recordings. Songwriting royalties from radio, TV and public performance are collected by collective management organisations. Nigeria has had disputes over which society is approved to operate, so check the Nigerian Copyright Commission’s current list before you register. Our publishing team can guide you.
