The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Learn Africa, Chief Emeka Iwerebon, has decried piracy’s adverse effects on the academic market.According to him, pirated versions of the organisation’s popular titles, such as ‘New Concept Mathematics’ and ‘New Concept English’, are sold at “outrageously low prices,” resulting in poor turnover and low profit.
He added that Learn Africa would “continue to collaborate with other publishing companies under the umbrella of the Nigerian Publishers Association and various agencies saddled with anti-piracy operations like the Nigerian Copyright Commission , Nigeria Police Force and Nigerian Customs Service to ensure the protection of our intellectual property rights.”
