Abstract

The continued hijack of shipping vessels on the Red Sea by extremists who claim to have declared war against Israel is one of those blowouts that have been caused by the Israel - Hamas conflict. The journey to unencumbered waters and unfettered shipping access itself has led to several agreements between sovereign states towards the maintenance of seamless high-seas traffic. Unfortunately, non-state actors occasionally come on the scene to wreak havoc and destabilize the fragile peace on international waterways. It is in this regard, that this study tends to examine the Red Sea crisis as it affects global shipping maritime transit and economic growth, especially of African countries vis-a-vis the UN Security Council's role of maintaining world peace and security. The study adopts a doctrinal method of study, the data obtained from primary and secondary sources such as laws and academic literature were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. The study therefore found that Rebels are using the pretext of Israel's attacks on Gaza to perpetrate piracy. The Israel - Hamas deadlock has created a deadlocked lose-lose situation for the international community and resulted in new incidents of insecurity within the Red Sea. The study therefore concludes and recommends that the United Nations as the global police especially through the UN Security Council examine all options for securing peace and stability in the Red Sea region as attacks on shipping vessels have global ramifications affecting multiple nationalities and invariably affecting world peace. Keywords: Crisis, Red Sea, Legal, Socio-Economic, International, Commerce.

Abstract

Governments use taxes to generate the revenue needed to provide basic facilities for society. However, taxpayers may evade tax liabilities or default, compelling tax authorities to resort to quasi-criminal litigation to recover taxes. Evidently, the process involved in prosecuting tax defaulters or recovering tax liabilities as provided for in the Personal Income Tax Act of Nigeria and as observed in a plethora of cases is often strenuous, cumbersome, and bureaucratic. Furthermore, the process is slow, and is unfriendly to taxpayers; hence, plea bargains are needed in prosecuting tax cases involving tax liabilities. In this study, online questionnaires were sent to 321 respondents (randomly selected) residing within the federal republic of Nigeria to ascertain the utility and favorability of using plea bargains to resolve liabilities. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to analyze the collected data. The study found that plea bargains are viable prosecutorial tools for resolving tax offenses or recovering tax liabilities. Therefore, this study recommends using plea bargains owing to its speed in resolving tax offenses or recovering tax liabilities and its less bureaucratic and more amicable nature compared to quasi-criminal litigation.

Abstract

The Metaverse provides a prospective opportunity for medical practitioners to improve patient engagement, training of medical personnel, and simulation-based learning. It allows for immersive telemedicine medical practice, enabling medical practitioners to render medical services to patients in remote areas through realistic virtual consultation and training of medical personnel and students through a lifelike simulation. However, despite the potential of the Metaverse concept in medical practice, certain legal and medical issues could mitigate its usefulness. In this regard, this study adopts a hybrid method of research in ascertaining the prospect, legal, and health risks of utilizing the metaverse in medical practice. 256 questionnaires were distributed, and the result obtained was analysed using descriptive and analytical methods. The study found that there are several potentials for utilizing the metaverse in medical practice. However, there are legal and medical risks in utlising the metaverse in medical practice and they include; patient data privacy, regulation, licensing, patient consenting to virtual medical treatment, and accountability for medical errors in the metaverse. Furthermore, the study also found that spending longer hours in the metaverse could result in sedentary behavior, associated with medical issues like obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, and cardiovascular problems. It was therefore concluded and recommended that the metaverse holds significant promise for the future of medical practice in Nigeria, offering innovative solutions that can transform healthcare delivery and education. However, to avoid legal and medical issues that may occur, there is a need for regulatory compliance with healthcare regulations.

Abstract

Over the years the concept of human rights has gained global recognisition and both the international community and Nigeria have taken necessary legal steps to secure the rights of every individual from any form of abuse. However, despite this measure, there seems to be a high rate of human rights abuse in Nigeria often necessitated by several factors. Hence, the need for this study to examine the factors often resulting in high levels of human rights abuse in Nigeria. The study adopts a doctrinal method of study relying on primary and secondary sources of research material such as laws and scholarly literature. The data obtained were analysed through descriptive and analytical methods of research. The study found that there are laws in Nigeria that tend to prohibit human rights abuse, however, there seems to be a high level of human rights intolerance resulting in human rights abuse. The study further found that religious, cultural, and political intolerance are the major causes of human rights intolerance resulting in human rights abuse. The study further concludes and recommends that resolving the issues of human rights intolerance resulting in human rights abuse requires enhanced public awareness through advocacy and education, religious and cultural reorientation on the need to respect human rights. Furthermore, there is a need to ensure political accountability, and transparency, curtail the incidence of corruption, and the establishment of independent monitoring bodies to safeguard human rights.

Abstract

The emergence of the Metaverse as a decentralized digital ecosystem has transformed traditional contract enforcement by introducing smart contracts, self-executing agreements embedded in blockchain systems. This study conducts a comparative legal analysis of the regulatory frameworks governing smart contracts within Metaverse operations in Nigeria and Uganda. Employing a doctrinal legal method, the research critically examines primary legal sources such as statutory laws and case law, alongside scholarly literature, to assess legal recognition, enforceability, and institutional preparedness. The study reveals a significant regulatory gap in Nigeria, where the absence of a comprehensive legal framework creates uncertainty in the enforceability of smart contracts, despite growing blockchain policy initiatives. In contrast, Uganda has established more definitive legal provisions, particularly through its Electronic Transactions and Signature Acts, which explicitly validate digital contracts. The novelty of this study lies in its regional comparative focus on emerging economies and its analysis of how traditional contract principles interact with decentralized digital platforms. The urgency of this inquiry is underscored by the rapid digitalization of commerce, which necessitates timely legal adaptation to prevent regulatory obsolescence and safeguard stakeholders. This research contributes to the discourse on digital governance by proposing a legal reform agenda for Nigeria, advocating for the adoption of a smart contract-enabling framework modeled after Uganda’s approach. Ultimately, it calls for regional and international harmonization to ensure legal certainty, consumer protection, and dispute resolution within Metaverse-driven economies.

Abstract

It is apt to state that there are numerous rights and obligations guardians or parents owe to their children or children in their custody. Although several laws seem to secure the right of children against child labour in Nigeria, however, it has been observed that there has been a recurrent increase in child labour, which is becoming a major challenge truncating the features of most children. In this regard, this study adopts a hybrid method of research in ascertaining if the Nigerian government takes custody of a child experiencing child labour could aid in curtailing the major challenge of child labour. In this regard, the study employs an online questionnaire sent to 307 respondents who reside in Nigeria. The study, therefore, found that, though several international and local laws tend to discourage child labour in Nigeria, there is still an increase in child labour. The study further found that several factors are often the root causes of child labour, and third-party custody of children suffering from child labour is a better solution. The study, therefore, concluded and recommended that to curb the major challenge of child labour, the Nigerian government needs to take a proactive step in assuming custody of children experiencing child labour. Hence, this study contributes to knowledge by determining if third-party custody is a possible consideration by the Nigerian government in legal-social intervention regarding diminished child labour and enforcing gaps left in existing child protection structures.

Abstract

The concept of human rights has gained global recognition over time, and the international community and virtually all countries consider everyone equal and deserving of equal treatment. However, advancing gender balance in rights is a critical challenge in Nigeria, where constitutional and legal frameworks come short of equity. Hence, the study focuses on Nigeria's slow progress in addressing systemic gender imbalances that are further complicated by cultural and institutional barriers to women's full participation in the economic, political, and social arenas. The research will analyze how constitutional and legal reforms can advance gender balance rights in Nigeria by learning from Uganda, a country that is attributed with remarkable achievements in gender inclusivity. This study employed a doctrinal method utilising a comparative approach that analyzed primary legal documents, policies, and secondary sources between the two countries for the best practices and challenges. Findings reveal that Uganda's deliberate constitutional recognition of gender equity, affirmative action policies, and strong institutional frameworks have reduced gender disparity significantly. On the other hand, it is Nigeria's fragmented and under-enforced gender-related laws, and the non-express constitutional provision of gender equal participation contribute to continued inequalities. The study recommends extensive constitutional amendments, the establishment of gender-monitoring institutions, and raising awareness amongst the public in Nigeria to duplicate Uganda's successes in making gender balance a core national development agenda.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: Education is said to be one of the major keys to development and civilization. Concerning this, the Nigeria and the Uganda governments had sought to enhance and facilitate tuition fees of tertiary education of peasant citizens, by enacting the Student Loan Act, Unlike the Uganda Education Loan Act, there seems to be a gridlock in accessing education loans in Nigeria. Purpose/Study Objectives: In this regard, this study examines the issues concerning the Nigeria and Uganda tertiary education loan act, with a view of taking a leap from the Uganda student loan act in improving on the Nigeria student loan act. Design/Methodology/Approach: In this regard, the study adopts a hybrid study method, 406 questionnaires were sent to respondents residing in Nigeria and Uganda. The results obtained were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. Findings: The study identified significant flaws in the Nigeria Loan Act that risk undermining its intended purpose, whereas the Uganda Tertiary Education Loan Act offers a more effective framework, granting students better access to loans and scholarships. Consequently, the study concludes that Nigeria should adopt key aspects of Uganda’s model, particularly its student-friendly provisions, to improve access to educational financing. It therefore recommends that Nigerian policymakers reform the existing loan system by integrating successful elements from Uganda’s approach, ensuring greater equity and efficiency in supporting students’ academic pursuits.

Abstract

The global surge in digital technology has revolutionized various sectors, including Islamic banking. While Indonesia has successfully incorporated digital automation into its Islamic banking system, Uganda's nascent Islamic banking system faces opportunities and challenges in adopting similar technologies. This study uses a hybrid research method with a conceptual approach to explore the prospects and challenges in automating Uganda's Islamic banking system by learning from Indonesia's progress. A total of 306 questionnaires were distributed to Ugandan respondents, and the data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. The findings show that automation has significantly improved the Islamic banking system in Indonesia, a model that Uganda can emulate. However, implementation in Uganda faces legal and socio-economic barriers that may affect its feasibility. This study recommends revising Uganda's legal framework to support and regulate a digitalized Islamic banking system while addressing socio-economic challenges. Ultimately, the study underscores that with the right reforms, automation can improve Uganda's Islamic banking landscape.

Abstract

Legal issues regarding the unfairness of state policies in regulating salt prices need to be resolved, especially regarding the preparation of salt price regulations that favour the people's interests. The salt price policy should bring benefits to the people and not merely benefit the salt middlemen. This research contributes to reforming equitable regulations where the benchmarks are based on the theory of justice according to Farid Escak's theory. This research uses normative legal research methods by basing the argumentation on salt regulations and the concept of justice in Farid Escak's theory. The research produces essential findings in the form of a national salt price policy that does not bring benefits to farmers, but the policy favours the interests of middlemen and parties in the industrial sector (companies). In addition, the framework of policy regulation on equitable salt prices in Farid Escak's perspective produces ideas in the form of determining the price of salt must be in accordance with the needs of salt farmers and more oriented towards the welfare of farmers. This research recommends the need for the renewal of salt regulations to create justice in the determination of national salt prices.
