FURTHER READING MATERIALS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LAW COURSE

IMPORTANT - Ensure you read the articles which appear on the following links (Click the article titles). The one titled "Environmental Legislation Changes in Nigeria: What Impact on Foreign Investment?" is useful for the development of environmental legislation in Nigeria (i.e. up to when the Federal Environmental Protection Act [FEPA] was passed into law). The second one titled "The International Comparative Legal Guide to Environment Law 2007", makes interesting general reading.

Warning: Both materials are years old and do not always reflect the current state of legislation in Nigeria.
