The role of law forms the
basis for economic growth of a nation and it has been said that a sound economy
is the surest engine of growth and the shortest route to tackling the challenges
posed by poverty in Nigeria. Taking other developed nations as an example, they
have sound laws which contribute to their country’s development and in turn
strengthen their political stability and good governance. These developed
nations use law as a catalyst for economic development.
To ensure a sound
economy, the legal regime must be sound and equally provide that there is a
sound regulation for every sector of the country.

The Nigerian legal regime
for economic development is faced with a myriad of problems, ranging from archaic
laws to multiplicity and overlaps of the laws and weak institutional systems.
Our laws on economic development are to take cognizance of social conditions,
emerging trends and international development. For example, in some developed
nations, business laws help small and medium scale enterprises to grow and
manage their businesses.

However, in Nigeria, we see a little bit of this in
“the ease of doing business in Nigeria” where small business owners are
encouraged to register their businesses online. Although, this is a good step
in the right direction. However, there are no laws regulating this and we still
have a long way to go. Thus, in a bid to grow the economy, legal reforms must
be carried out by the National Assembly on every aspect of the economy- Agriculture,
Taxation, Justice, Banking, and Investment and so on with a view to removing
legal and other impediments and ensuring the development of the country.

Nigeria is currently
facing serious challenges in terms of shrinking economic growth, high inflation
rate, high unemployment and unstable foreign exchange and the only way we can
grow the economy is through appropriate legal reforms in every sector.
