, Introduction
This Course – Law 443 (Administrative Law 1) – is one of the Law Courses you are required
to take in order to obtain your LL.B. degree. Building on your knowledge of the workings of
the three arms of government – the legislature, the executive and the judiciary – the Course
will acquaint and arm you with the legal regime governing the activities of governmental
agencies – ministries, departments, and parastatals – in their delivery of goods and services to
the citizens and other persons in Nigeria. The Course will demonstrate that the relationship
amongst the tripod or trilogy of legislature, executive and judiciary is not all there is to law-
making, law execution and law enforcement. But, much more than that, the Course will
introduce to you the legal regime that authorizes or permits these governmental agencies
whether at the Federal, State or Local government levels to make and enforce rules,
regulations, bye-laws and policies in their various spheres of influence to the benefit or
detriment of members of the public.
The Course comprises 16 study units, taking into consideration the convenience of students.
Within the scope of its First Semester coverage, the Course promises to take you through the
theory and practice of the structures of administrative agencies.
