The National Judicial Institute (NJI) in collaboration with Juris Law and the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) is holding a National workshop for justices of the Supreme and Court of Appeal as well as Federal High Court Judges.
The workshop aims to train them on the role of the Judiciary in the development of Local Content Law in the Oil and Gas Industry.
The workshop, held on March 6, aims at equipping justices and judges across the country with the appropriate philosophy, and legal, fiscal, and regulatory issues underpinning the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act.
A Principal Partner at the Juris Law Office and visiting Professor of energy Law, and Policy, Niyi Ayoola-Daniels, who spoke on the relevance of the workshop, stated that for the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry Content Development Act, and the NCDMB operational guidelines to be effectively implemented, Justices and Judges must be properly understood by Nigerian judiciary.
The workshop will be declared open by the Chief Justice of Nigerian (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen while the President, the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa will also be in attendance.
