Delegated Legislation and Delegation of Powers in the Nigeria Administrative Law Context
Abstract
This paper examines the concepts of Delegated Legislation and Delegation of Powers under Nigeria Administrative Law with reference being made to the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). The two concepts are closely related and are no doubt often misunderstood by those who read the works of some great Text Writers on this area of law. This paper clearly distinguished both concepts, discussed their relevance and usefulness to modern day governance because the fact is that the Government at the Federal, State and Local Government Levels have got to delegate its functions if its impact must positively affect the people, especially in a massively populated country like Nigeria where majority of the populace are rural dwellers. Arguments against the exercise of delegated legislation and delegation of powers abound, but the need to go ahead and exercise them supersede arguments against their use, as anarchy will be inevitable if delegation of power and delegated legislation are not in many cases exercised. This paper lastly discusses the different methods of control of delegated legislation, tell us the stages when Judicial Review may apply, and while elaborating on delegation of power, it goes on to highlight the factors necessary for a proper delegation of power and talks about the Rule against Sub-Delegation.
