One of Nigeria’s Kings of highlife music Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi has been appointed as the Chairman of the newly formed Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) Advisory Board.
“
Alongside on the board are music icons that have made a formidable impact in the industry, Victor Uwaifo, Dan Maraya Jos, Onyeka Onwenu, Laolu Akins, Sunny Neji, Toju Ejueyitchie, Ben Ofoeze, Ossy Affason and Dayo Ogunyemi.
According to the newly appointed chairman of COSON Tony Okoroji, “Copyright administration is such a complex undertaking that requires all meaningful contributions.
“Since the board cannot accommodate more than the stipulated number of eleven members, the board has deemed it proper to set up an Advisory Council which will be made up of seasoned minds and achievers from within and outside the society; whom we believe have the right intellect to inject ideas that should help the board take COSON to our dream of being the Number one in Africa. I wish to state here that we are still building the Advisory Council as more hands will be invited to come on board and I believe in no time, members of COSON will be singing a new song.”
The association also added some of the young talented music icons as part of their executives such as R&B singer Banky W, Azeezat , Baba Dee, Fuji musician Adewale Ayuba and Audu Maikori.
One of the newly elected executives Azeezat expressed her appreciation and excitement, “This is a wonderful initiative, it gives the society an opportunity to benefit from the wealth of knowledge of people who have distinguished themselves in the music business in Nigeria, I am excited as I know this will mean well for all who have the progress of COSON at heart’,
