    An Examination of Trans-Boder Crimes and National Security in Nigeria
    (Department of Private and Property Law, Faculty of Law, Redeemer's University, Ede Osun State, 2024-02) Oluwatosin Kate Olanrewaju-Elufowoju
    Examining the complex network of transnational criminal operations that seriously jeopardize national security, the article focused on Nigeria. The article carefully examined a wide range of criminal activity, including cyber and intellectual property crimes, terrorism, money laundering, drug trafficking and the far-reaching effects of environmental crime. It dissects the intricate dynamics of these criminal networks using a thorough doctrinal analysis, exposing their transnational reach and the difficulties they present to law enforcement. This analysis goes beyond standard discourse to establish a connection between the rise in transnational crimes and globalization. The argument put forth was that the swift interconnectedness enabled by globalization had unintentionally created the conditions for the growth of a worldwide criminal economy. Given this context, the article highlighted the imperative need for comprehensive and well-coordinated measures, calling on governments to reinforce their law enforcement efforts and promote global cooperation by means of public-private partnerships. In light of the ongoing difficulty that transnational crimes provide to societies, the article's conclusion highlighted the necessity of placing a high priority on national security while also posing relevant queries on the viability of totally eliminating criminality.

    Regulatory Frameworks, Compliance and Healthcare Responsibilities on Informed Consent in Nigeria
    (African Journal of Law, Ethics and Education, 2025) Chukwunye Augusta Ojeih
    Informed consent is a cornerstone of healthcare ethics and law in Nigeria. However, ensuring regulatory compliance and healthcare provider accountability remains a challenge. This paper examines the tripartite relationship between regulatory frameworks, institutional compliance, and healthcare provider responsibilities in obtaining informed consent; it analyzes existing laws, policies, and guidelines to identify gaps. It further scrutinizes the role of healthcare institutions and providers in ensuring effective informed consent practices, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for promoting patient autonomy and dignity in Nigeria’s healthcare system. This study ultimately argues that a multifaceted approach, incorporating regulatory reform, institutional accountability, and provider responsibility is essential for ensuring the integrity and efficacy of informed consent in Nigeria’s healthcare sector. This paper adopts analytical and comparative approach, utilizing the doctrinal legal research methodology which involves the scrutiny of both primary and secondary sources to provide an encompassing and insightful examination of the issue under consideration.

    The Legal Aspect of Digitalization of Privacy of Children Online
    (Redeemer’s University Nigeria, Journal of Jurisprudence & International Law (RUNJJIL), 2024) Oluwatosin Kate Olanrewaju-Elufowoju
    The Digital world provides myriads of opportunities for people all over the world, and it is a great place for mothers to catch up and connect with their family, friends and loved ones. It has provided communities for many parents who find themselves grappling with motherhood challenges and has become an important platform for assistance and growth. However, sharing information about the child has ethical and legal consequences. This study examined the impact of digitalization on the young child and the legal consequences of the exposure. The study adopted a doctrinal approach using both primary and secondary sources of information. The study found out that most states lack comprehensive protection for children online and that the few protections in place did not take cognizance of the fact that parents do expose their children to dangers online despite the fact that that was not the intention of the parents involved. The study also recommended that new laws must be put in place to give children more protection from their parent’s actions online. The study concluded by recommending that sensitization must be done for parents on the legal implications of what they share online about their children.

    Biotechnology Regulatory Conundrum: Balancin Innovation with oversight
    (The Journal of Sustainable Development Law and Policy, 2024) Chukwunye Augusta Ojeih
    The development and application of biotechnology in Nigeria have been significantly influenced by environmental factors, with the country's unique ecological context shaping the adoption and regulation of biotechnology. Nigeria's biodiversity hot spots, such as the Niger Delta and savannas, have driven the development of biotechnology solutions for the conversation and sustainable use of natural resources. Environmental concerns, including deforestation, soil degradation, and water pollution, have also spurred the adoption of biotechnology in areas like sustainable agriculture and bio remediation. Furthermore, the impact of climate change on Nigerian agriculture has led to increased investment in climate-resilient biotechnology research and development. As a result, Nigeria's burgeoning biotechnology sector faces a regulatory conundrum as the country strives to harness the technology's potential while ensuring public safety and environmental sustainability. In Nigeria, the National Biosafety Management Agency (NBMA), the National Environment Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) share regulatory oversight, but challenges persist. This paper examines the tension between innovation and oversight in Nigeria's biotechnology regulatory landscape, highlighting issues of institutional capacity, public engagement, and ethical considerations. A balanced approach is proposed, integrating stringent regulatory frameworks, robust public participation, and innovation-friendly policies to foster responsible biotechnology development in Nigeria. This paper employs an analytical and comparative approach, utilising the doctrinal legal research methodology, which involves scrutinising both primary and secondary sources to provide a comprehensive and insightful examination of the issue under consideration.

    Content Creators: Rights under the Nigerian Copyright Act 2022
    (Redeemer's University Journal of Jurisprudence and International Law, 2024) Chukwunye Augusta Ojeih
    Communication and content creation are the foundation of all social interactions. Our methods of sharing information and conversing has been completely transformed by social networking sites like WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others. The men and women behind these social media platforms are referred to as ‘content creators’. The evolution of the content creation industry has various implications on the structure of creativity, the organisation and management of individual and national economic systems, the distribution and utilisation of resources to foster sustainable economic expansion, and the shifting landscape of employment trends and opportunities, on education, on infotainment, and so on. But do these creators have any enforceable copyright rights? A cursory look at the Nigerian Copyright Act 2022 appears as though content creators are not recognised; however, an in-depth study of the Act shows otherwise. Content creators have recognizable and enforceable rights under the copyright law. This paper highlights the copyright rights of these authors; the work they produce is an extension of their personalities. Using primary and secondary sources of law, this paper adopts the doctrinal legal research technique. This article concludes that content creators, as authors under copyright, should be accorded their due respect. They have valid and enforceable rights under the law. Take away from content creators their copyright and you would very soon take away from Nigeria her authors.
