Nigeria Law is the public record of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, kept by citizens for citizens. It collects the Constitution, the Acts of the National Assembly, the cabinets, the commissions of inquiry, the figures of the federal budget, and the long written history of governance in this country into a single, continuous archive.
We started in 2024 because the documents were already there — in the gazettes, in the judgments of the Supreme Court, in the reports of the Auditor-General, in the National Archives at Ibadan — but they were not findable, not readable, and not maintained as a working civic instrument. A citizen who wanted to know what the 1999 Constitution actually says about state policing, or how much was stolen during a particular administration, had to know first where to look.
The archive is free. It accepts no advertising, no state funding, no donations from any party, candidate, or office-holder. It carries no paywall and no tracking. It is built so that a citizen — a journalist, a teacher, a litigant, a student — can verify a claim in under sixty seconds.
What we are not
We are not a news organisation. We are not a campaign. We are not a legal practice. The site does not constitute legal advice, and on matters of personal stake a qualified practitioner must be consulted. Where the archive cites an allegation, it cites the forum in which the allegation was made and, where applicable, the outcome.
Who keeps it
The editorial work is independent and pseudonymous in part by design — to keep the record above the politics it records. Corrections are public and dated. Sources are credited in every entry. The redline is firm: Wikipedia is never a source.
