The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, says the Federal Government is working to ensure that the country’s Intellectual Property IP law and administration are in line with current realities.
Malami said this when the Senior Counsellor, World Intellectual Property Organisation WIPO, Lorreta Asiedu, led a delegation to pay him a courtesy visit in his office in Abuja.
The minister was represented by the Permanent Secretary and Solicitor-General, Ministry of Justice, Beatrice Jedy-Agba.
Earlier, Asiedu said the visit was to seek the minister’s support on WIPO’s efforts in developing National Intellectual Property Policy and Strategy for the country.
She said that WIPO had been working with the Nigerian Copyright Commission, consultants and relevant stakeholders in developing the National IP Policy and Strategy for Nigeria.
According to her, with this development, Nigeria will be joining other African countries that have adopted IP policy and strategy.
