Law Of Tort Seriously Affecting Average Nigerians, Yet …-SAN

The law of tort has been described as one aspect of law that affects the daily lives of ordinary Nigerians, and yet, they do not know.

This perspective was shared yesterday by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), and former chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Chief Wole Olanipekun

Olanipekun who was speaking at the presentation of a newly published book entitled ‘Contemporary Law of Tort in Nigeria’ written by Uche Val Obi (SAN), commended the author for the text, describing it as a modern and thoroughly researched book.

He said the author had succeeded in providing both the courts and practitioners with a valuable compass for navigating today’s challenges.

According to him, the book would particularly be useful, given the increasing digital and societal complexities in the society.

Professor Fabian Ajogwu (SAN) while reviewing the book, observed that not only was it well written, but practicable.

He commended Obi’s scholarship, describing the book as a masterful blend of doctrine and practicality.

“This is the kind of work that strengthens jurisprudence. It speaks to the future of litigation in Nigeria”, he stated.

In his remarks, the author stated that the book’s mission was to shed light on emerging areas of law, such as class actions, transnational torts, and data-related claims.

“I wanted to create a work that reflects our local realities while acknowledging global shifts in tort law.

“I hope it becomes a trusted resource for students, scholars, and practitioners for years to come,” he said.
