ABSTRACT
Treaties represent an important instrument by which States undertake and accept responsibilities
in the international arena. Nigeria has in furtherance of its international relations entered into a
number of multi-lateral and bilateral treaties. Nigeria has by its constitution expressly provided
for the treaty making procedure and how treaties can acquire the force of law in Nigeria. It is
however, apposite to note that the applicability of a treaty is dependent on a number of factors

Legislative List, a bill for an Act of the National Assembly to give the treaty the force of law
must be ratified by a majority of all the Houses of Assembly in the Federation before it is
enacted into law and assented by the President. It follows, therefore, that until a treaty has been
domesticated in Nigeria, it cannot be applied within the country.
