A major addition to Nigeria’s legal literature, Mining Law in Nigeria, authored by eminent jurist Dr. Adekunle Akanbi Ojo, SAN, will be available for sale to legal practitioners and other interested participants at the forthcoming Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) National Conference in Port Harcourt.
The book, regarded as a landmark contribution to Nigerian mining jurisprudence, provides a comprehensive examination of the country’s mining legal framework, covering mineral ownership, resource control, mineral rights, revocation of land rights for mining purposes, compensation, environmental protection and the regulation of artisanal and small-scale mining.
Written with a practical and comparative approach, Mining Law in Nigeria draws lessons from established mining jurisdictions including Canada, Australia, India and Ghana, while examining the legal and regulatory challenges confronting Nigeria’s mining sector and proposing reforms aimed at promoting a more inclusive, sustainable and prosperous industry.
The text is particularly relevant to lawyers, judges, policymakers, academics, students, engineers, environmental practitioners and stakeholders in the mining and extractive industries.
Described as the first comprehensive mining law textbook in Nigerian jurisprudence, the publication comes at a time when Nigeria is seeking to deepen investment in the solid minerals sector and strengthen the legal and institutional framework governing the industry.
Copies of Mining Law in Nigeria will be available for purchase at the NBA National Conference in Port Harcourt, providing conference participants with an opportunity to obtain the new legal text directly during the gathering.
