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

Technological advancement has greatly enhanced the global environment, it has improved every facet of the global industry. Currently in Nigeria, the Legal Profession has taken a bold dive by incorporating the use of technology in enhancing the practice of law. However, the current innovation of robotic lawyers in most countries may seem to be consistent with their legal systems. In this regard, it suffices to opine that given the fact that Nigeria is a developing country, there are legal and socio-economic issues that may affect or truncate the adoption of a robotic lawyer in Nigeria. It is in this regard that this study adopted a hybrid method of research in ascertaining the relevance of robotic lawyers, and the legal and socio-economic issues. Questionnaires were distributed to 305 respondent residents in Nigeria. The study found that the current trend of robotic lawyers is quite impressive, however, the nomenclature of law concerning the study and practice of Law in Nigeria does not recognize a robotic lawyer. Furthermore, some socio-economic issues such as internet fraudster, unemployment, insecurity, and poor maintenance culture may pose a challenge to the adoption of a robotic lawyer in Nigeria. In this regard, it was therefore concluded and recommended that for a smooth adoption of robotic lawyers in Nigeria, there is a need for legal approval and streamlining their roles to mere advisory to a client, training of Nigerian lawyers and judges to enhance the legal profession.
