Digital environment is free: NCC And NBA to young lawyers

Digital environment is free: NCC And NBA to young lawyers: The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) has taken a step towards building institutional capacity by

organizing a workshop to train young lawyers across the country on digital environment right.

The capacity building training was held in collaboration with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA),

Abuja Branch, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Nigeria Office, with the aim

of enhancing the knowledge of lawyers on intellectual property and copyright capacity.

During the training, the Chairman of NBA Abuja branch, Afam Okeke, expressed the NBA’s commitment

to the development of young lawyers, saying that the training is designed to give young lawyers who are

interested in intellectual property rights and copyright, the necessary tools and knowledge to hone their

skills in this area and, if desired, carve a niche for themselves in the subject area.

He also highlighted that intellectual property rights copyrights are a goldmine of opportunities, and when

properly harnessed, have the potential to set one on a highly profitable career trajectory.

The Director-General of NCC, Dr. John Asein, delivered the keynote address at the workshop, where he

emphasized that the training would enhance the knowledge horizon of judges on matters of Intellectual

Property (IP) in Nigeria.

He also noted that the copyright law is a good entry point into intellectual property, and from there, one can begin to see other areas of technology as the digital environment is free and loaded with so much potential.
