    Open AccessTunde I Ogowewo, Tunde Ogowewo et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Law2006

    This paper is a critique of the policy-making process and the particular policy choice made by the Central Bank of Nigeria with respect to the recent increase in the minimum share capital requirement for Nigerian banks.

  • Self-inflicted constraints on judicial government in Nigeria

    Open AccessTunde I Ogowewo, Tunde OgowewoARTICLEJournal of African Law2005

    Although the prevailing tendency is to view the executive and, to a lesser extent, the legislature as the primary drivers of the developmental process in any country, this paper situates the judiciary in the Nigerian developmental process.

The target shareholders usually incur large losses when management succeeds in defeating the offer and the target remains independent. An array of defensive measures have been used as embattled managers have fought to keep their seats. The validity and effectiveness of these measur…

  • The Problem with Standing to Sue in Nigeria

    Open AccessTunde I Ogowewo, Tunde OgowewoARTICLEJournal of African Law1995

    The function of a legal test is to navigate the court through various possible solutions to achieve the optimum result in the application of a legal principle. It therefore forms part of the process for securing a just result to a controversy in adversarial proceedings. A well-articulated legal test should reflect the judicial policy on the principle it applies. Such a test should generally yield results that are just and are in consonance with t…
