Facebook creators in Nigeria can now earn money from ad revenue as the country has become eligible.
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, ticked Nigeria blue in the professional dashboard on Thursday, June 27.
Before now, content creators with Nigerian addresses were not eligible for Facebook monetisation unless they had a page management based in an eligible country.
Following the development, creators in Nigeria can now monetise their content and earn money through Facebook in-stream ads, live ads, ads on reels, bonuses and subscriptions.
In March, Meta’s president of Global Affairs, Sir Nick Clegg, was in Nigeria and led a delegation that visited President Bola Tinubu.
Information released then by presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale stated in part:
“Sir Clegg also said Meta will introduce in June 2024 a feature on its Instagram app that will allow Nigerian creators to monetize their content to enable them to earn a living using the app.”
