Nigerian Music Industry Coalition has lined out activities to once again celebrate this year’s ‘No Music Day’, which holds on September 1 of every year.
The event focuses attention on the widespread infringement of the rights of composers, song writers, performers, music publishers and other stakeholders in the Nigerian music industry.
Speaking at the coalition’s headquarters in Lagos, Secretary of the Association of Music Business Professionals (AM.B-Pro), Efe Omorogbe said, “music is our business; we will protect it with everything we have. We will not let anyone or any organization destroy all that we have labored so hard to build. This is the focus of No Music Day. The theme of this year’s celebration is: Keep the Music Alive. This is a call to the government of our great nation, Nigeria, and to all lovers of good music to join the Nigerian music industry in solidarity to put an end to the blatant abuse of our rights which in itself is a threat to creativity.”
As part of activities for the day, the coalition has requested all broadcast stations and major users of music across the country not to broadcast music between the hours of 8am to 10am on Sunday, September 1, as a mark of solidarity with the nation’s creative industry.
