Mergers and Acquisitions In Nigeria Law and Practice By Dr Fabian Ajogwu SAN
Merger & Acquisition is an area that is as dynamic as the market itself, and allows for deal and process innovations that spur new regulations. In dreaming up the shareholder rights plan, or the position pill, in 1982 to give boards of a target company a chance to “level the playing field” and have time to weigh offers, renowned M & A lawyer, Martin Lipton explained that they “..had reached a whole new plateau of hostile takeovers, and there was really very little in the way of defense to them”. Lipton’s innovation did not come into popular use until after the Delaware Supreme Court cleared the path with a 1985 decision.
The book examines issues of corporate governance, corporate control & pursuit of profits, and protection of shareholders and ends with useful case studies, court forms and templates, which are intended to serves as a guiding-thread to the extensive literature on the transactional aspect of M&A.
The book: ‘Mergers & Acquisitions in Nigeria: Law & Practice (Second Edition)’ with a foreword by Mr. Oscar Onyema Chief Executive, Nigerian Stock Exchange, highlights the meaning of mergers and acquisitions. Also, exams the role courts play in developing the law on this subject. “It also traced the recent developments in accounting and financial reporting, and the financial reporting standards applicable to mergers and acquisitions”. Published in 2014, the 554 page book has eight very useful appendices.

Intellectual Property: The Law and Practice of Copyright, Trade Marks, Patents and Industrial Designs in Nigeria By F. O. Babafemi
The Law and Practice of Copyright, Trade Marks, Patents and Industrial Designs in Nigeria
EFCC Laws Of The Federation 2004 ( Criminal Code Cap C38)
The Criminal Code is an ancient document dating back to the 17th Century. Transported to Nigerian through the colonial vehicle, it became and effective weapon in the hands of explorers to subjugate their captured territories and subjects. Initially a document only useful in the Northern protectorate of Nigeria soon covered the whole country. But by 1960, the North, abandoned it for the Penal Code. As at today, it is the only penal instrument useable only in the whole of Southern Nigeria.
Despite its age, it has remained the main document for criminal trials, companion of layers, law enforcers, jurists and general readers.
We have introduced cases and materials for those seeking a summary of key issues.
The determination of the Obasanjo administration to fight corruption in all its ramifications led to the emergence of EFCC. It is obvious that the Criminal Code cannot provide the needed speed and energy due to its age and verbose contents.

Law of Affidavits: With More Than 200 Model Forms of Affidavits 5e by Parameswaran
This book puts forward the view that a sound and satisfying foundation for a general and fully National Indian Law of Affidavits lies in our unalterable commitment to Vedas, Upanishads. Puranas and Smritis which speak in solemn organic harmony. The succeeding chapters contain detailed discussion concerning affidavits in general and in the context of various enactments and legal proceeding. Affidavits find a place not only in the Code of Civil Procedure, but in other statutes as well. Still the basic and fundamental principles are based on the overview of the CPC and gain relevance and significance from these. The book is useful to the judges, lawyers, administrators and would also help laymen understand the law of affidavit better.
