Abstract: The role of the courts through its interpretative jurisdiction to the development and overall growth of a nation cannot be over emphasised. The laws become policy statements when given life by the courts. In doing so, the courts must strike a balance between interpreting the letters of the law and adopting an interpretative approach that will enhance the socio- economic development of all persons resident within the territorial jurisdiction of the State. Laws made and Interpreted must reflect an intention to protect these sets of individuals and enhance their well-being. Consequently, this paper examines the provisions of LUA as it relates to the rights of aliens to own interest in land in Nigeria. The aim is to determine whether the lawmakers intend to restrict an alien from holding interest in land. This examination is crucial if it is considered that land plays an important role in economic development of any society. Therefore. this paper argued that the right to work of many occupations is invariably- tied to land and. as a result, the court in interpreting the provisions of the L UA must give it its widest interpretation 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z http://ir.library.ui.edu.ng/handle/123456789/9543 Title: The true sale doctrine in asset securitisation: the Nigerian perspective Authors: Aina, K.; Maduka, O. Abstract: The true sale doctrine is the foundation of every securitisation transaction. Assets transferred to a Special Purpose Vehicle in a securitisation transaction can only he bankruptcy remote if the transfer was a true sale transaction. Yet, the doctrine is surrounded by controversies and complexities. While some jurisdictions are using legislation to settle this controversy for the benefit of the investors and the broader economy, the Nigerian position is still unclear, confusing and without direction. This paper is an attempt to draw attention to the significance of true sale as it relates to the sale of receivables in asset securitisation. In doing this this paper considered the Asset Backed Securitisation Act of the United States of American States of Delaware and Texas and English courts position on true sale to underscore the importance of the doctrine This article further considered the position of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission Rules on Securitisation and its limitations with regards to true sale doctrine. The paper concludes that the Nigerian position is not in tandem with international best practices and recommends the enactment of a securitisation law that will specifically address the question of true sale doctrine 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z http://ir.library.ui.edu.ng/handle/123456789/9166 Title: The different faces of rapes: a jurisdictional issue Authors: Bamgbose, O. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://ir.library.ui.edu.ng/handle/123456789/9165 Title: Case review: Rasheed Aminu V. the State Authors: Bamgbose, O. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z
