The Future of Nigeria Insurance Industry in a Globalized Economy
(Department of Public and Internatinal Law, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2011-02-03) Y. Isa
The aim of this paper is to highlight the future of Nigeria Insurance Industry in a globalized economy. Modern insurance industry was introduced into Nigeria by the British in 1945. It is therefore to he expected that the theory and practice of insurance in Nigeria has to follow the British pattern. In advanced countries, the insurance industry has developed very much unlike what obtains in developing countries, which should not be so, considering the importance of the industry to the economy of any nation. This paper extensively dealt with the problems affecting the development of the Nigerian insurance industry, namely: legal, cultural, practicing, economic, and technology. The paper shows that for many reasons legislations which were supposed to be facilitators of social and economic development to a great extent had created impediments to the growth of the industry. It also discussed the problem of the environment in which the industry operates, how the culture of taking insurance policies has not been cultivated. The paper suggests that Nigerian insurance companies should embrace e-commerce in order to take full advantage of the present state of technology especially in an era of digitized economy as the industry moves into consolidation era, with the aim of competing successfully at the global stage.

LEGAL RESTRAINTS IN NON-INTERNATIONAL ARMED CONFLICTS
(Department of Public and International Law, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2012-03-30) Okebukola, Elijah Oluwatoyin
Out of about 28 situations of armed conflict in 2011, only one was inter-state. ٨11 others were intra-state or non-international in nature. This trend calls into question the very definition of non-international armed conflicts and the extent to which International Humanitarian Law (IHL) applies to them. In addition to answering these questions, this article sets out practical and policy steps to ensure adherence to IHL during non-international armed conflicts.

A Universal Procedural Framework for War Crimes Tribunals
(Department of Public and International Law, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2012-05-21) Okebukola, Elijah Oluwatoyin
Notwithstanding the uniformity of war crimes substantive law, applicable procedural rules vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In the case of ad hoc tribunals, the applicable rules may not be known until rhe tribunal is established. Consequently, there IS uncertainty and incoherence in war crimes procedural law. Furthermore, the quality of applicable rules is dependent on the varying experience, knowledge and intentions of the framers of the procedural rules of each tribunal. "This article makes the case for a univer- sal procedural framework that can serve as an instrument for evaluating and creating war crimes proce- dural rules. Amongst other things, such a framework will bring about certainty and coherence in war crimes procedural law. In devising the model framework, the article adopts the Benthamite approach to the relationship between substantive law and procedural law and also relies on some aspects of the process evaluation theories of Robert Summers and Michael Bayles.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS IN NIGERIA AS VALID LEGISLATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS
(Department of Public and International Law, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2012-09-24) Okebukola, Elijah Oluwatoyin
In carrying out the function of the office, the President in a !)residential system such as Nigeria and the United States may issue orders to agents and agencies of the executive branch. These orders may set out government policies, issue directives or command action relating to functions of the executive arm. Particularly, when Executive Orders are ga et ted and made enforceable with the force of law. An order issued by the President becomes rather controversial when it purports to make law. This paper identifies the nature and definition of executive orders, the questions of use, legality and form of executive orders. The paper also appraises the law on modifying and challenging executive orders. It then ends with a conclusion that executive orders may be law-making in disguise and also seiwes as administrative tools. This dual nature demonstrates that in Nigeria, there is both separation and sharing of powers. Finally, recommendations are made for transparency and accountability in the use of executive orders. The methodology adopted in arriving at the findings is doctrinal mainly relying on decided cases and existing literature on the subject or related subjects.
