The Legal Measures for Promotion and Protection of Investments in Nigeria

Abstract

The promotion and protection of investors have over the years suffered policy and developmental drive. The Nigerian system is characterized by inconsistent policies of governments in investments growth. The country has a high desire for economic development. This article begins with an introduction, followed by the historical development of investors’ protection in Nigeria, the agencies created for investment protection, such as the Nigerian Investment and Promotion Commission (NIPC) and the Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (IPPA), the factors that militate against investment growth in Nigeria, the legal methods by which investment disputes could be settled and concludes that if the recommendations given in this article are implemented, that Nigeria shall become one of the greatest economies in the World.

Cybercrime and Digital Transactions Law in Nigeria: A Review

“…It is submitted that it will be most appropriate to have a single enforcement institution to fight against the menace of cybercrime in Nigeria. (Nwafor, 2022) Another striking provision of the Cybercrimes Act is that it is an offence for any person to destroy or abort any electronic mails or processes through which money or any valuable information is being conveyed (Section 9).The Act is silent on what the term "valuable information" means. This makes room for guessing and speculation.…”

Kinetic Study and Modeling of Nigerian Sub Bituminous Coal Char Using the Random Pore Technique

“…These coal reserves are situated in places like Enugu, Okaba, Nnewi, Nasarawa, Benue, and Gombe of Nigeria and there are still more reserves that have not been discovered. Different technologies like Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion (PFBC) have been and are being developed to overcome the many environmental problem of air and water pollution associated with the use of coal as a fuel [2].…”

“…Many models have been suggested over the years, moving from the simplest one step to more complicated random pore, grain model. In most model of coal char gasification, particles are normally assumed to be spherical, uniformly porous solids but in realities this is not the case as char from the same coal can exhibit different range of morphologies and porosities [2].The choice of model solution depends on the conditions of the structure of the solid phase and the transport and reaction rate. The complexity of the model depend mainly on the type of heterogeneous reaction and simplifying assumptions [3].…”
