Effective leadership and a high standard of conduct are traits that are reflected in the presence of strong corporate governance. This essay investigates corporate governance with an emphasis on the operations of the Nigeria Copyright Commission. The article adopts a doctrinal approach based on tracing the definition and development of corporate governance in Nigeria; corporate governance laws and codes in Nigeria; the international structure of corporate governance; the structure of the Nigerian copyright commission; the powers and functions of the Nigeria copyright commission; and corporate governance and the activities of the Nigeria copyright commission.  The Nigerian copyright commission, which is currently mostly in compliance with worldwide practice and standard, is under inadequate leadership or corporate governance, according to the report, and Nigeria has not made much progress in upgrading its intellectual property laws and regulations. Therefore, in order to provide value and guarantee efficacy under constantly changing conditions, this study suggests using good corporate governance.
