This came after Rep. Babajimi Benson (APC-Lagos) had successfully introduced a motion during Tuesday's plenary session in Abuja.
Benson moved the motion, stating that although Mohbad sadly died on September 12 in unknown circumstances, his name has continued to dominate news and discussions across the country and beyond.
Benson claimed that there had been demonstrations and a march of young people singing his name and demanding an investigation as they made their way to a memorial performance with several musicians in attendance.
He added that Mohbad, also known as Imole, "light" in Yoruba, was an artist who sang of peace and brightness and that it was obvious that his followers were finding it difficult to cope with his untimely passing.
In 2022, Mohbad allegedly quit his record company, Marlian Records, which was run by Azeez Fashola (Naira Marley), alleging a number of issues, including unpaid royalties.
The legislator pointed out that the problem was symptomatic of a larger issue where artists had trouble defending their rights.
He added that the evidence of mistreatment emphasized the difficulties faced by young artists in the nation and suggested that a troubling industry practice had emerged.
He claims that in their pursuit of achievement, individuals become caught up in parasitic contracts and experience bullying when they try to break free of them.
e claimed that Mohbad's situation was not unique, as many musicians in Nigeria were caught up in poor contractual arrangements.
He claimed that this constrained their capacity for innovation and economic expansion and that it may occasionally even result in violence.
Benson said that the Nigerian music industry lacked significant institutional financing, which led many performers to sign shady record label contracts.
He asserted that solving the problem was essential for the development and sustainability of the sector.
The congressman expressed his displeasure that the Marlian Music Group received the lion's share of the late artist's earnings.
He continued by saying that no agency has taken any action to safeguard the estate of the late singer, who was the 46th best-selling digital artist worldwide.
The House observed a moment of silence in memory of Mohbad and demanded that the rights of young, promising musicians in their contracts with record labels be safeguarded.
It urged pertinent organizations to keep an eye on the investigation into Mohbad's death, especially in light of the claims of harassment and unpaid royalties.
The House asked NCC to work with relevant parties, including as record labels, artists, legal professionals, and trade organizations, to create and put into effect industry-wide regulations.
The recommendations will analyze Nigeria's current copyright and contract laws in order to identify any inconsistencies or areas that require modification. They should ensure equitable treatment, transparent contractual agreements, and adequate recompense for artists.
The Committee on Justice and Legislative Compliance was mandated by the House to oversee compliance.
