    Appraising the Constitutionality and Justification for the use of Amnesty in Tackling Terrorism in Nigeria
    (Bangladesh Institute of Law and International Affairs, Dhaka, 2012) Olokooba, SM; Olatoke, Olukayode
    Violent agitations which have taken terror dimensions are now a major concern for both the Nigerian government as well as the international community. Initially, it was the agitators from the southern part of the country where crude oil is produced, and now, the Boko Haram sect from the Northern part of the country. To seek out a lasting solution to the senseless killing, the Nigerian president recently set up a committee, to work out a modality for the amnesty for the 'Boko Haram' terrorism sect as it was done for the Niger-Delta militants in the past.

    Internal Tax Regime of WTO
    (1996-9023, 2017) Olokooba, SM; Olatoke, Olukayode
    The basic principles of the WTO are built on the foundation of GATT. However, even though those principles are far reaching in importance, their effects on the developed and developing nation's economy are not equitable. While the principles look novel and economically viable, some of them are damaging to the economic progress of the developing countries. One of such principle is the internal tax regime of the WTO. This paper therefore examines what this principle is all about, how same constitute a clog in the wheel of economic progress of the developing nations as well as solution thereto in form of recommendation.

    The Proposed New issues and the Relevance of African Membership of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Examined
    (The Faculty of Law, Kogi State University, Anyigba, Nigeria, 2016) Shola, Animashaun; Olokooba, SM; Olatoke, Olukayode
    This Chapter examines the Proposed New Issues in the World Trade Organisation vis-a-vis the relevance of African membership of the organisation. The paper places the policy in historical context, examines its underpinning reasons and argues that the policy favours only the Developed Nations and not the African countries. The paper further contends that, the actual reasons for the formation of the WTO was far from ordinary free flow of and/or liberalisation of trade among nations, but one of neo-colonisation tendency of African trade and economy by the Developed Nations. In the final analysis, the chapter made some practical recommendations that will make African member states of WTO more relevant in the global international trade policy making.
