This study employs an economic lens to analyze the legal frameworks of Nigeria, focusing on the intersection of law and economics within the country's legal system. Nigeria, as a prominent African nation with a diverse legal landscape, presents a compelling case for examining how economic principles influence legal institutions, regulations, and enforcement mechanisms. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this paper explores the economic rationale behind various legal provisions and assesses their impact on economic growth, investment, and development. By uncovering the economic implications of Nigerian laws, this study aims to provide insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and scholars interested in enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the country's legal system.
