Abstract

Lay drafts as used in Nigeria are erroneously thought to speed up the drafting process but they are insufficient as drafting instruction and they reduce the quality and effectiveness of legislation. Good drafting instructions will lead to good legislation while bad drafting instructions will lead to the drafter’s failure to grasp the fundamentals of the policy, and failure to get the draft right, and ultimately failure to achieve the purpose of the policy. This article is intended to analyse the drafting process in Nigeria to point out the causes of ineffectiveness in legislation and how that can be improved.

使用草稿作为起草说明：尼日利亚案例研究

在尼日利亚，人们错误地认为草拟草案可以加快起草过程，但草拟草案并不能充分发挥起草指导的作用，反而会降低立法的质量和效力。好的起草指导会带来好的立法，而坏的起草指导则会导致起草者无法掌握政策的基本要素，无法正确地起草草案，最终无法实现政策的目的。本文旨在对尼日利亚的起草过程进行分析，指出立法效率低下的原因以及如何加以改进。

期刊介绍： The principal objectives of the Review are to provide a vehicle for the consideration of the legislative process, the use of legislation as an instrument of public policy and of the drafting and interpretation of legislation. The Review, which was first established in 1980, is the only journal of its kind within the Commonwealth. It is of particular value to lawyers in both private practice and in public service, and to academics, both lawyers and political scientists, who write and teach within the field of legislation.
