Private International Law in Nigeria

The book is an excellent piece. For the first time, students and practitioners can have access to an avalanche of Nigerian PIL cases and they can measure the mood of Nigerian courts on important subject matters such as jurisdiction agreements. -- Abubakri Yekini * AfronomicsLaw * This book is without doubt, one of the most impactful legal textbooks in Nigeria in at least twenty five years. It is a refreshing addition to the legal libraries across Nigeria and beyond. Judges at all levels of courts in Nigeria, legal practitioners, arbitrators and lawmakers alike as well as law teachers, researchers and students, will find Private International Law in Nigeria a highly resourceful and practical guide that fills an intellectual void in a long neglected but increasingly critical field of law. It is a long overdue contribution to the field of private international law in particular, and to legal scholarship in Nigeria as a whole. -- Orji Agwu Uka * AfronomicsLaw * Private International Law in Nigeria can rightly be described as a pioneering work ... practitioners, academics, and students can now access a multitude of Nigerian cases as a point of reference more easily than ever before ... It will be extremely useful for judicial officers, academics, law students, legal practitioners, cross-border litigants and anyone interested in a Nigerian perspective on cross-border issues. -- Abubakri Yekini, Lagos State University * The Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law * An invaluable source of information for those interested in understanding the principles of PIL in Nigeria. This excellent monograph extensively covers most aspects of PIL and painstakingly analyses most Nigerian case law on the subject. It is clearly and coherently written and offers useful guidance to academics, practitioners, judges, students, and anyone wishing to understand the principles of PIL in Nigeria. -- Chukwudi Paschal Ojiegbe * Journal of Private International Law * This book is the first full length, systematic treatment of Nigerian private international law. Doing something for the first time makes the authors pioneers. In this case they have navigated the unknown terrain with great skill ... I highly recommend this book to all lawyers and judges in Nigeria, to all legal academics working on private international law anywhere, to those responsible for international matters in the Nigerian Federal Government and those responsible for justice in all the States of the Nigerian Federation. * Paul Beaumont, Professor of Private International Law, University of Stirling (from the Series Editor's Preface) * The book is an immense resource material on private international law, conflict of laws, for Judges, lawyers, law lecturers and law students in the Universities and a fantastic contribution to the legal jurisprudence and materials on the subject. I congratulate the authors for their foresight and resourcefulness in putting the work together. The book is a 'must have' for everyone involved in personal and business transactions that have inter-State and/or international elements. * Honourable Justice H A O Abiru, Justice of the Nigerian Court of Appeal (from the Foreword) *
