dc.description.abstract	The most recent adjectival legislation on criminal proceedings in Nigeria is the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015. The Act introduces certain far-reaching innovations in the law relating to bail in Nigeria, aimed at reinforcing the legal essence of the bail provisions in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). This paper appraised some of the strengths and weaknesses of the bail provisions of the Act. In achieving this objective, the paper primarily relied on the relevant provisions of the Act as well as relevant texts and articles on the subject-matter of bail. The ideas garnered from these sources were synthesized towards proffering some recommendations. The paper found that despite the seemingly comprehensive coverage of the Act in bail and other matters, there remained room for improvements in some aspects of the law of bail as entrenched in the Act. The paper recommends a country-wide application of the bail provisions of the Act.	en_US
