THEMES ON THE NIGERIAN LEGAL SYSTEM (2023) Edited by Chijioke Chris Ohuruogu

The beauty of Themes on the Nigerian Legal System lies in two most appealing facts: one, that it is a contribution from learned authors who are not only specialists in this specific area of Nigerian Law, but may also be found in institutions of learning throughout the length and breadth of the country, and, two, the authors have written in simple, easy-to-understand language, and we hope this will help. This book is highly recommended.
