Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) has approved the printing and distribution of 2,000 copies of a legislative drafting textbook to all Nigerian Universities.
The book titled “A Workbook on Legislative Drafting in Nigeria” is authored by Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja, who is Nigeria’s leading legal scholar in the field of legislative drafting.
Dr. Jaja is recorded as the first Nigerian lawyer to be awarded a PhD in law (legislative drafting) degree by the University of London. Since the year 2012, he has served as Editor-In-Chief of the International Journal of Legislative Drafting and Law Reform, indexed by the British Library in the United Kingdom.
Dr. Jaja is Secretary of the Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners (ALDRAP), a non-governmental organisation that was recently awarded funding assistance to host the first ever AfTCA, themed legislative drafting moot court competition for African law students. The TETFUND support is aimed at mainstream legislative drafting in the curriculum of Nigerian Universities.
