    OWNERSHIP RIGHTS AND RESPONSIPJ.MTIES: IMPLICATION FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF PETROLEUM IN NIGERIA**
    (Department of Public and International Law, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2013-10-20) Anigbogu, Bridget; Aliyu, Halima Doma
    It is beyond dispute that Nigeria272 is a petroleum yielding country,273 the value of her exports is roximately S142.52 billion Dollars (USD) and the estimate of the proven crude oil reserves is approximately 37.14 billion barrels according to the Department of Petroleum Resources.27'* Another notorious fact is the reality of massive environmental degradation in the host communities as a result of reckless petroleum exploitation from the operator companies that do business therein, of which the Nigerian government through her agency the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is involved. It is rather curious that despite the fact that the Nigerian Government is both a major player in the petroleum business as well as a regulator of the said industry yet pollution reigns supreme. Therefore this paper will examine the implication of Government’s ownership rights of petroleum to determine the extent of her responsibilities towards environmental degradation in the Niger Delta Region

    REITERATING THE SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS WITH DISABILITIES IN NIGERIA
    (Department of Public and International Law, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2020-05-12) Aliyu, Halima Doma; Anigbogu, Bridget
    Approximately 12 to 14 million Nigerians are disabled. Notwithstanding Nigeria’s apparent commitment towards the elimination of disability discrimination, as evidenced by its ratification of key international and regional instruments, disabled Nigerians continue to live in relative poverty, are often impeded in their access to public sendees and employment opportunities, remain largely ostracized within their communities and are more likely to be the victims of crimes including sexual abuse. This paper analyses the legal framework for the protection of disabled persons under current Nigerian laws, and assesses its adequacy and impact on the lives of the disabled, and society at large. The paper advocates the need for a change in social attitude towards disability in order to effectively uphold these rights, and ensure the inclusion of such persons into national planning, and all other socio-economic and development programmes.
