INTRODUCTION
Corporate criminal liability is a legal concept that holds corporations liable for criminal acts committed by employees acting on behalf of the organisation. This concept extends beyond individual responsibility to hold companies accountable for criminal acts. The evolution of corporate criminal liability reflects a recognition that organisations, as legal entities, can engage in illegal acts that harm society, the economy, and the environment.
The fundamental idea is that a corporation can be held criminally accountable for illegal conduct undertaken by its employees or agents in the course of their employment or in the interest of the company. This principle ensures that corporations cannot avoid culpability simply because a crime was committed by people within the organisation.

Every online activity is saved as a digital record and is always accessible on the internet. It is said that the Internet has a memory and that it is slow to forget. The right to privacy has become necessary in the digital age because personal information can be easily shared and maintained. A developing legal notion known as the "Right to Be Forgotten" (RTBF) enables people to ask for specific personal data to be removed from public view, primarily online. Understanding and implementing the RTBF is becoming increasingly crucial as Nigeria works to improve its data protection laws. The Right to Be Forgotten and its adoption issues in the Nigerian context are examined in this article.

INTRODUCTION
In recent years, money laundering has gained international attention as corrupt individuals conceal illicit gains through financial systems. The Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act of 2022 represents a significant milestone in the effort to stem money laundering, aiming to strengthen the framework for detecting, preventing, and prosecuting money laundering activities within Nigeria. This comprehensive legislation not only defines and criminalises money laundering but also imposes stringent obligations on financial institutions and designated non-financial entities to implement effective anti-money laundering measures. By outlining clear guidelines, penalties for non-compliance, and avenues for international cooperation, the Act seeks to fortify the nation's financial integrity and protect its economy from the detrimental effects of illicit financial flows. This article provides an in-depth overview of the key provisions and implications of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act of 2022, highlighting its pivotal role in safeguarding financial systems and promoting transparency and accountability in the financial sector of the country.

On 17 March 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Copyright Bill, 2022 into law. The Copyright Act 2022 repealed the Copyright Act 1988.[1] The Act aims to facilitate Nigeria's compliance with international copyright treaties, to effectively protect the rights of authors, to ensure fair compensation and recognition for their intellectual work, to establish appropriate limitations and exceptions to ensure access to creative works, and to improve the capacity of the Nigerian Copyright Commission to administer, enforce, and ensure compliance of persons and entities with the Act's provisions.
INTRODUCTION
Foreign participation in the Nigerian business sector has significantly shaped the nation's economic landscape. As one of Africa's largest economies and one of its most vibrant markets, Nigeria attracts foreign investors from various regions and industries, including oil and gas, agriculture, telecommunications, and manufacturing. The influx of foreign capital, expertise, and technology has contributed to the growth of key sectors and has facilitated economic diversification. While challenges such as political instability, regulatory uncertainties, and infrastructure deficits remain, the Nigerian market offers substantial opportunities for foreign businesses seeking to expand in one of the world’s most populous and resource-rich nations. This participation has also fostered strategic partnerships, enhanced local entrepreneurship, and supported employment creation, making foreign investment an essential driver of Nigeria's development.
NIGERIA LICENSING ROUND
Nigeria licensing round refers to the process by which the Nigerian government offers oil blocks to companies for exploration and production. The purpose of the licensing round is to attract investment and boost the country’s oil and gas industry. The licensing round serves as an opportunity for companies to acquire licenses for specific areas known as oil blocks, where they can carry out exploration and production activities.
In Nigeria, the petroleum sector is divided into three main sectors: upstream, midstream and downstream. The upstream sector involves exploration, drilling and production of crude oil and natural gas. The midstream sector focuses on transportation, storage and processing of petroleum products, while the downstream sector involves refining crude oil into various petroleum products as well as distribution and marketing of these products to consumers.
INTRODUCTION
The word "euthanasia" has Greek roots, and its broad meaning is the act of taking a terminally ill person's life out of compassion to relieve their suffering.
According to its etymology, "euthanasia" comes from the Greek words "eu" and "thanatos," which signify "good death" or "easy death." [1]Its broad definition centres on taking an incurably sick person's life out of compassion to lessen their misery.[2] In Nigeria, there is no official legal framework in place to support individuals seeking assistance in dying. It is widely known that euthanasia is practised outside of the safe confines of the law. Examples of this include when life-sustaining or life-prolonging treatments such as food, medication, or fluids are withheld from sick patients, when life support machines are delayed, when patients refuse medical treatments even though doing so speeds up their demise, when CPR is not administered, and when a patient whose heart has stopped is allowed to pass away.
