About LexNigeriana

LexNigeriana is a new revolution in the practice of law in Nigeria. LexNigeriana puts the entire Nigerian Law library at your service anytime and anywhere you want it. The LexNigeriana online library is a fully searchable, full text database of all Nigerian legislation, case law and statutory instruments.  Access the library day or night, in chambers, in court, in a meeting or even on the road. All you need is a laptop, desktop, PDA or blackberry, with internet access.

What do you need?

• Reference to the citation or the text of a statute or statutory instrument?

• Reference to a case authority (citation or decision) or an important issue?
• The effect of a government policy or administrative ruling on your business or that of a client?

Then, you need search no further. The LexNigeriana portal has the answers to all your legal questions. The library provides five services, each of which contains a specific product: the Nigerian Statutes Consolidated and Annotated; the Nigerian Electronic Law Reports; the Nigerian Statutory Instruments Service; the Legislation and Administrative Law Service; and the Nigerian Statutes Locator and Citator.

What you get:

• All the principal legislation (Ordinances, Decrees and Acts) enacted from the amalgamation of Nigeria in October 1914 to the present time.
• All statutory instruments (orders, rules, regulations, etc) that are still in force, from 1914 to the present.
• Annotations to each principal legislation and statutory instrument, including information on commencement, amendments, cross-references and definitions.
• All cases decided by the superior courts of record and some specialised tribunals from 1881 to date, whether in Nigeria or on appeal from Nigeria.
