Abstract: The paper examines the legislative strides of the Nigerian policy makers in the provision of social security for the citizenry from the colonial era up to the present time. In fashioning out the existing social security schemes in Nigeria, it has become necessary for some laws to either be amended or repealed. The paper discusses the progressive development of these laws and highlights the extent of their compliance with prescribed minimum international Standards. The paper argues that, though much legislative Intervention towards fulfilling the fundamental objective of section 14(2)(b) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution has been made, there are still some basic issues that need to be addressed in order to further expand the scope of social security provisioning. The paper concludes by proffering suggestions on how to consolidate on the extant laws in order to secure the much needed social safety net to the generality of the Nigerian citizenry.

Shell petroleum development company of Nigeria limited Authors: Osuntogun, J. A.; Anifalaje, K. Abstract: This paper examined the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in Abba v. Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited on the status of Local Purchase Order (LPO) in a contract of sale of goods. Contrary to the general rule in most countries of the world, including the United States of America and Uganda, that the LPO constitutes an offer in the law of contract, the Supreme Court held that it was an invitation to treat which is not enforceable in law. Consequently, this paper subjects this decision into a critical examination with a view to determining its accuracy. For this purpose, it interrogates the role of offer and acceptance and in particular the invitation to treat in the formation of the contract of sale of goods. It also discusses the question of what time it could be said that parties have entered into a contract of sale of goods. It interrogates the legal Status of the LPO in commercial transactions and how the status might affect the result of the application of offer and acceptance in a contract, particularly the contract of sale of goods. It concludes that, although the decision in Abba's case cannot be reconciled with similar decisions not only in Nigeria but also globally, it can be justified using the rights-based approach.
