Abstract

This article explores regulatory capture of aspects of company and securities law and the related law-making process by interest groups within Nigeria’s commercial and bureaucratic classes. Using several examples, the paper draws out the reach and character of these interests. The paper’s central argument is that the presence and reach of such group interests in Nigerian company law-making have hitherto been masked by the standard stylized rhetoric and presentation of company law and company law-making in Nigeria as formal, scripted affairs, but acknowledging these interests and delineating their contours conduce to their prophylaxis in law-making as well as their treatment in company law adjudication.

尼日利亚《公司及相关事务法》中的集团利益：一部隐蔽监管捕获的历史

本文探讨了尼日利亚商业和官僚阶层中的利益集团对公司法和证券法各方面的监管，以及相关的法律制定过程。通过几个例子，本文得出了这些兴趣的范围和特点。该论文的核心论点是，迄今为止，尼日利亚公司法和公司法制定中此类集团利益的存在和影响一直被标准化的修辞所掩盖，并被描述为正式的、照本宣科的事务，但承认这些利益并界定其轮廓，有助于在法律制定中预防这些利益，也有助于公司法裁决中处理这些利益。

期刊介绍： The African Journal of Legal Studies (AJLS) is a peer-reviewed and interdisciplinary academic journal focusing on human rights and rule of law issues in Africa as analyzed by lawyers, economists, political scientists and others drawn from throughout the continent and the world. The journal, which was established by the Africa Law Institute and is now co-published in collaboration with Brill | Nijhoff, aims to serve as the leading forum for the thoughtful and scholarly engagement of a broad range of complex issues at the intersection of law, public policy and social change in Africa. AJLS places emphasis on presenting a diversity of perspectives on fundamental, long-term, systemic problems of human rights and governance, as well as emerging issues, and possible solutions to them. Towards this end, AJLS encourages critical reflections that are based on empirical observations and experience as well as theoretical and multi-disciplinary approaches.
