The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) has taken decisive action in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, by conducting raids on three schools within the metropolis. The operation, part of the commission’s routine monitoring and inspection activities, resulted in the impounding of books suspected of copyright infringement.
According to a report by Daily Post Nigeria, the NCC’s move aims to curb the distribution of pirated materials in educational institutions. The raids targeted schools in the Makurdi metropolis, highlighting the ongoing challenge of intellectual property violations in the region. The commission has not yet released detailed information about the extent of the seized materials or the specific schools involved, but the action underscores the NCC’s commitment to protecting copyright laws.
