No country can effective survive on it's own without a form of interraction with other countries and both National and international organizations. Nigeria is signatory to some many National and international treaties and conventions.Being signatory to treaties and conventions in Nigeria does not give such treaties and conventions the force of Law.pursuant to Section 12 of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria, No treaty shall be binding on Nigeria state until it has been domesticated through an Act of Assembly.Domestication. of treaty means through an Act of Assembly such treaties has become Nigeria Law and Thus become binding on the Nigeria court to follow.
In the case GANI FAWEHINMI V.ABACHA, the court held that Nigeria is not bound to follow a treaty under such treaty has been domesticated.
