To advance the space law sector, Olisa Agbakoba Legal (OAL) has launched a book to broaden the knowledge of Nigerians on it.

Speaking at the launching in Lagos, a partner and head of public sector practice group, Collins Okeke, said: “The book is a response to the call from numerous students, legal practitioners, professionals, investors, intending investors, and all Nigerians for a single reference material that will bring together all major international treaties and domestic laws on space that affects Nigeria as a major actor in the Space industry in Africa and as a developing global giant in the space industry.”

The book, titled, ‘OAL Compendium of Space Treaties, Policies, Law and Regulations in Nigeria’ has 146 pages.

It contains the Outer Space Treaty; The Moon Agreement; The Liability Convention; The NASRDA Act; The 2015 NASRDA Regulation; among other treaties, laws, policies, and regulations.

Okeke explained that a short introductory summary was provided at the beginning of each treaty, policy, law and regulation to give readers a panoramic view and a roundup of the focal interests of the instrument before going into the key provisions.

This, he said, will also suffice for a reader whose sole interest is gaining an idea of the instrument as against the detailed provisions of the instrument, adding that the compendium is both beginner-friendly and detailed reference material for professionals in law and other fields.
