There has been a gale of excitement from content creators following the launch of monetisation programme in Nigeria, which allows them to earn money from ad revenue on Facebook.
Blueprint recall that Meta had promised in May this year that it would allow Facebook monetisation in Nigeria by June.
It said, “Monetisation won’t be limited to just Instagram. Nigerian creators eligible to use our monetisation products will be able to also monetise on Facebook as well.
“We’re working diligently to make these monetisation features available for Nigerian creators in June and our team is dedicated to a swift rollout.”
Recalls that earlier in March, Meta’s President of Global Affairs, Sir Nick Clegg, visited Nigeria and led a delegation to President Bola Tinubu.
Before now, content creators with Nigerian addresses were not eligible for Facebook monetisation unless they had a page management based in an eligible country.
With the new development, content creators in Nigeria can now monetise their content and earn money through Facebook in-stream ads, live ads, ads on reels, bonuses and subscriptions.
