CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE LAW: IS NIGERIA’S ENERGY TRANSITION A POLICY CHOICE OR A LEGAL OBLIGATION? Nigerian films such as Oloibiri and Black November vividly depict, through a cinematic lens, the country’s deep dependence on fossil fuels and the adverse environmental and socio-economic consequences that flow from it. Notably, the urgency surrounding environmental protection and enforcement in Nigeria can be traced to the Koko Waste Dump saga. This incident marked a turning point, catalyzing the development of more robust environmental laws at the national level and contributing, on the international plane, to global regulatory efforts such as the Basel Convention. Despite these developments, Nigeria’s sustained reliance on fossil fuels has arguably impeded the transition to cleaner energy sources. This raises a critical question: is Nigeria’s ongoing energy transition primarily the product of discretionary policy choices, or is it anchored in binding obligations under domestic and international law?

CHILDREN ON ABUJA’S STREETS: WHEN THE LAW FAILS THE MOST VULNERABLE Abuja presents itself as a city of order. The broad roads, structured districts, and the quiet symbolism of a nation’s capital all suggest a place where policy meets practice. However, at nearly every busy intersection, a different reality comes into view. Children, some barely old enough for primary school, weave between moving vehicles carrying trays of goods, tapping on car windows, and calling out to drivers trying to move through traffic. They are not supposed to be there. Their presence is so much more than a social concern, it is a direct contradiction of Nigerian law. This Publication was authored by Evita Felix-Okonti, Esq.

THE FATE OF EMPLOYEES IN THE EXECUTION OF MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS IN NIGERIA Corporate restructuring, particularly through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), has become a critical mechanism for sustaining businesses and driving economic growth in Nigeria. In a volatile economic environment, M&A transactions often serve as strategic tools to rescue failing enterprises, preserve asset value, and enhance operational efficiency. However, while these transactions may strengthen corporate entities, they often create uncertainty regarding the status and rights of employees whose roles may be affected by such restructuring.
