Nigerian Publishers Association (NPA)
The professional body for book publishers in Nigeria. The NPA hosted REPRONIG's formal launch at Book House, Ibadan, in 2003.
Member Associations
REPRONIG brings together the associations that represent creators and publishers of literary and artistic works in Nigeria.
Who benefits from our work
The main beneficiaries of REPRONIG’s activities are authors and publishers; academic and research institutions; corporate organisations; international rightsholders; and the general public.
Rightsholders are paid for the copying of their works. Institutions get simple, lawful access to a large body of published material. And the public benefits from a book sector that can afford to keep publishing.
