Call For Papers: The Nigerian Immigration Lawyers Association Invites Submissions For Its Maiden Law Journal

The NILA Law Journal is a peer-reviewed journal on a broad range of current and pragmatic topics related to the rapidly changing immigration law landscape, in support of NILA’s mission to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy in Nigeria, and enhance the professional development of its members.
The journal will consider articles on subjects relating ( but not limited ) to Nigeria or comparative immigration law and policy in general, business immigration, forced migration, refugee law, internal displacement and nationality law.
