International laws always take the form of contracts. A treaty, according to the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, is an international agreement, or what is called a charter, concordant, convention or even a declaration. It should be noted that before an international law can be qualified as binding in Nigeria, it must be ratified and domesticated. This is strictly regulated by Article 12 (1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Hello Lord, I needed an answer to this question What are the sources of labor law?

The sources of Nigerian law simply mean where Nigerian law comes from. The main question is where we get the current laws that we now call our own. However, Nigeria is a pluralized state due to its heterogeneous multicultural, ethnic and religious diversity. Many factors have shaped the Nigerian legal system today. Islamic law (in the north), local customs and traditions, English law, local laws, court decisions and foreign laws are key roles in discussing the nature of the Nigerian legal system.

It should be noted that there is no point in the Constitution called a „residual list”.

However, it follows from the constitutional provisions. Section 4(7) of the 1999 NRFC provides that the State House of Assembly may legislate on matters not on the exclusive list and may legislate on matters on the competing list. Thus, they can also implicitly enact laws on matters that are not included in any of the lists.

Often the court tends to follow the decisions of English judges because they are seen as more immersed in the act of justice. Therefore, we sometimes admire English laws when there are loopholes in our own laws. In addition, legislation comes to life from other sources of law. For example, some customary laws dealing with slavery, witchcraft, judicial procedures, etc. have been abolished.

There are other sources of law in Nigeria and today I will explain each of them.
