Contemporarily, technology has birthed inventions which perform tasks orthodoxly executed by human. A notorious example of such invention is ChatGPT developed by Open AI. This invention is capable of writing essays, song lyrics and other related literary and artistic works simply on the instruction of its end-user. As beckoning as this feat seems, it portends a great lacuna to the extant laws regulating and protecting literary and artistic works. Premise on this, this piece will highlight the challenges occasioned by technological invention to the law regulating literary and artistic work in Nigeria – the Copyright Act. In doing so, the position to be taken by the Nigeria law to resolve these challenges as well as an overview of what copyright entails will be accentuated.

It has been observed that a recurring issue since the inception of local government administration in Nigeria has been the recalcitrant behavior of governors in their unconstitutional removal of democratically elected local government chairmen, whose offices are guaranteed under section 7 of the 1999 Constitution of Federal Republic Nigeria, which provides for the existence of the local government as the third tier of government. Thus, in these writers’ opinion, this section has been misinterpreted and rather taken to the very extreme by state governors who see local governments as mere appendages of the state government and subject to the whims and caprices of the governor. As a result, there have been a ferocious control of the local government in areas of funding and administration. This has led to widespread agitations for a more independent third tier of government. The most recent being the local government autonomy bill which aims at increasing the financial autonomy of the local government through the creation and maintenance of a special local government account into which all allocations shall be paid, as well as a separate savings account which would serve as a reserve, before subsequent disbursement to other tiers of government.

The 21st century is categorized to be the fast-track walk away into the fourth industrial revolution characterized by digitalization. As this is becoming the threshold and the new way of things, every day transactions are now conducted on digital and electronic platforms. As a result, the law is growing in most countries of the world to suit each case where documents generated or sourced from a computer are to be presented before the court. Among the countries that recently introduced procedures for tendering documents generated from these electronic wares is Nigeria. Stifled along with the procedures are the challenges in the admissibility of computer generated evidence. Recently, most of the challenges regarding computer generated evidence in the country were waterdown in a decision, which created a paradigm in the admissibility of computer generated evidence in the country. Thus in this paper, the conditions for admissibility of computer generated evidence would be perused and the challenges in admitting such in evidence in trial would be discussed comprehensively alongside the case of A.G Federation v.

Lack of proper waste management system has been identified as one of the major causes of environmental pollution and climate change globally. A lot of things are being produced and/or manufactured daily without available means of how they can be properly disposed thereby, causing more harm to the Environment. For instance, the major Environmental problem perceived in Nigeria is lack of proper waste management, although various legislations have been enacted to regulate waste management in Nigeria, poor waste disposal systems continue to thrive in premises and facilities in Nigeria. In utilizing the doctrinal research methodology, this paper examines the concept of waste pollution and its effect in Nigeria. It further examines the laws on wastes management in Nigeria. It finds that despite the copious regulations on waste management in Nigeria, there are still incidents of improper waste disposal in the country and this is largely due to the non-implementation of the laws by the government and lack of adequate waste management system. This paper posits that the means for proper waste disposal should be made available by manufacturers and or producers all over the world and their products and/or goods should be properly scrutinized as to theirimportance to mankind before they are distributed.
