Nigerian Copyright Commission The Nigerian Copyright Commission is the highest body regulating, advising, and monitoring matters of copyright law in Nigeria. This proposal argued that this period was necessary to allow time for the ongoing customs and port reforms to take root so as to ensure the effective administration of the resulting price-based measures and to allow the economy to consolidate the recent gains in the area of inflation, external reserves, interest and exchange rates.
Perhaps the most general of these is that the coherent and consistent pursuit of good trade policy requires not only a robust and appropriate domestic institutional framework and process for trade policy-making but also a supportive and institutionalized multilateral arrangement for trade policy surveillance. These deviations largely explain the lack of coherence between policy statements and policy actions; this probably also derives from the absence of local ownership of the trade liberalization policy which appears to have been induced by the World Bank-IMF supported structural adjustment programme.
Within the internal trade policy surveillance mechanism in Nigeria, vested interests built around the use of quantitative import restrictions have acquired tremendous powers, and no effective counterweights have evolved over time, perhaps because consumer groups and other civil society organizations are not sufficiently well organized.
Furthermore, the mechanism lacks effective feedback systems in the articulation, implementation and evaluation of trade policy.
In particular, trade policy initiatives are not routinely subjected to cost-benefit analysis; and no explicit system of monitoring and evaluation is used for modifying or changing trade policies which do not produce desired results efficiently. Second, the external agent must have adequate sanctions which it is able and willing to use to punish deviations from the pursuit of good trade policy.
Neither of these conditions appears to have been effective in dissuading Nigeria from the continued use of its import prohibition policy.
The basic problems inherent in the framework and process of trade policy-making in Nigeria and its surveillance are not unknown. Some of these are eloquently summarized in a recent statement by Olusola Faleye, president of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry Guardian April :.
We have no query with the principles of protection, but with the process. We are concerned that the recent import prohibition policy was not preceded by sufficient consultation.
Import prohibition. Any sustained effort to eliminate import prohibitions in Nigeria is unlikely to be permanently successful if it does not first address these underlying problems. Castillo, G. Ogunkola, A. Jerome, A. Adenikinju and A.
Ogunkola and A. Local and external players and their roles It is well established that any trade policy change is likely to generate both winners and losers, even if the overall net impact is positive. Local players back to top Among local players, the government and its agencies have played a prominent role in the initiation and sustenance of the policy of import prohibition.
Challenges faced and the outcome In using import prohibition as a major trade policy instrument, Nigeria has hoped that its balance-of-payments problems would be alleviated, and that the protection offered would induce increased output and employment of the domestic industry.
