All respectable members of the Audio-Visual Rights Society of Nigeria (AVRS) present, the Director General of the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC), distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I feel honoured to welcome you all to the second Annual General Meeting of our Society.

As you will recall, our inaugural AGM was held last year on March 29 at the Excellence Hotel and Conference Centre, Ogba, where the current board was elected and I was entrusted with the chairmanship of the board.

Before I proceed to highlightour major achievements sincethat historic event, I will like us to observe a one minute silence for some of our members as well as other practitioners in the Audio-visual sector that died within the past year. Notable among them is one of our pioneer subscribers, Mr Chike Bryan Nnamani, wife of one of our Board member and a member in her own right Mrs Henrietta Kosoko, Chief OlumideBakare, Prince James Uche and Moji Olaiya to mention but a few…………. MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN PERFECT PEACE.
