Nigeria Law
The Nigeria Law web site is maintained by the International Centre for Nigerian Law. Laws of the Federation of Nigeria is available to download and consists of a single large file. Alternatively it is possible to view separately laws passed in any year from 1990 onwards. The web site also contains the Constitution of Nigeria and rules of procedure for the Court of Appeal, the High Court of Lagos State and the Federal High Court. The "Law reporting" section has selected full text judgments of the Supreme Court: these are simply arranged alphabetically by title of case.
