NFVCB vows to sanction streaming services violating digital content law

Alhaji Adedayo Thomas, Executive Director, NFVCB, said this at the closing of the third edition of the NFVCB’s Digital Content Regulation Conference in Lagos. The three-day conference was tagged: NFVCB-NETFLIX Safe Screen and Digital Entertainment Space Forum.

Thomas said that the Nigerian creative industry law covered online OTT and streamers, and that the board was working closely with security agencies to ensure that violators face the law.

He noted that though the board was challenged in the area of monitoring the huge content pushed out by online platforms, it was working on expanding its capacity for effective monitoring.
