Constitutional Review & Law in Nigeria Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies

A discourse on Constitution Amendments, this book is a compilation of collections of articles on the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 constitutional review, in September, 2020 by some authors; following an invitation to the stakeholders and general public for the submission and presentation to the office of the Committee On The 1999 Constitution Review based on the issues raised by the National Assembly towards the review of the 1999 Nigeria Constitution. Academics and readers will find the collections of articles particularly useful to understand the terrain of the Constitution of Nigeria and make a comparison with others from Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, South Africa, UK and the United States of America. The strategy is in line with methods of modern constitution-making processes that emphasize public participation; to the end that readers are encouraged to take keen interest in understanding how constitution-amendment processes in advanced democracies work. The book does not contain a conclusive discussion on all topics surrounding constitution but in deed a cross-selection by the authors. The suggestions in the review would no doubt lead to a functional approach in governance.
