A major addition to Nigeria’s legal literature has been released with the publication of Mining Law in Nigeria, an authoritative work that provides a comprehensive analysis of the country’s mining legal framework.

Written by eminent jurist Adekunle Akanbi Ojo, SAN, the book examines mineral ownership, resource control, revocation of land rights for mining purposes, compensation claims, and the regulatory and procedural challenges facing Nigeria’s mining sector. It also explores mineral rights, environmental protection, artisanal and small-scale mining, mining economics, and sustainable development.

Adopting a comparative approach, the book draws lessons from leading mining jurisdictions including Canada, Australia, India, and Ghana, while advancing practical reforms for a more inclusive and prosperous Nigerian mining industry.

Widely regarded as the first comprehensive mining law textbook in Nigerian jurisprudence, Mining Law in Nigeria is an essential resource for policymakers, judges, lawyers, academics, students, engineers, environmentalists, and industry stakeholders.
