Senator representing Adamawa State North Senatorial District, Ishaku Abbo has said the Senate is working to put in place a commission that sees to dispute resolution between record labels and their signees.
Abbo, on Thursday, paid a condolence visit to the residence of Mrs Adebose Olumuyi, the mother of late Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad in Lekki, Lagos State.
The death of Mohbad sparked outrage as a video surfaced showing the late singer being bullied by Naira Marley’s sidekick, Sam Larry.
He added that the creation of the commission will help to ensure that there are laws protecting record label and signee relationship and hereby making sure that no one takes the law into their hands.
“When we have this commission, nobody will start taking things into their own hands. But this doesn’t exist now in this country and I am assuring you that the Senate of the 10th assembly, in collaboration with the minister for creative economy, will come up with a commission called creative economy commission,” he announced.
According to him, “The Senate just passed a bill and it has scaled third reading. We have also done a public hearing about setting up a fund for victims of such incidences where the families can benefit like the EndSARS victims and other victims of violence.
“The FG is interested in setting up the fund. The creative industry is a very big one. It is a multi-billion economy and I am sure the current administration will ensure that the sector has a conducive atmosphere.”
