Dr John Asein, the Director-General of  NCC disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

He said the documentation exercise,  which has already begun in Abuja would be spread across other states in the country.

NCC boss  added that the commission was working to make the online registration for booksellers seamless and easy.

According to him, as soon as NCC rolls out the regulation, it becomes mandatory for all the booksellers in the country.

“I am hoping we can achieve this  beginning of next year. So that as we approach the next book season, we will have rolled out some of these initiatives.

“Every printer, publisher and bookseller in the market  must meet our minimum demands,” he said.

The NCC boss further disclosed that the commission had opened the pathway for the anti-piracy devices, adding  that the roll out  regulation would be backed up with the use of the hologram.

“We are going to take it in phases. We will start with the purely voluntary scale and also  determine which books may require compulsory use of the hologram.

“The commission  has different models, which we are  already discussing with the publishers. NCC will procure and give the holograms to the publishers.

“There are also model that will allow the publishers to just take our prescribed hologram, and then go ahead and produce for their own use,” he explained.

Asein stated that there would  be a uniform format that would  be well tracked, stressing that any hologram out there would  be well documented in their records.

“Through this, we will be able to follow up in the market and  make the job of the copyright officers easier,  as well as fighting against piracy more effective”.

The director general further appealed to those engaged in piracy to desist from it, stressing that piracy in the long run, kills, steals and  destroys other people’s work.

“As a matter of fact, piracy kills creativity. We know authors who have resigned from the business of authorship because of pirates.

“So,  it steals from them, individuals and investors and  destroy the economy.

“There is  no better time for everyone to fight against piracy because we cannot sustain the creative economy if we keep allowing people to steal from that economy. (NAN)
