1999 Constitution

The 1999 Constitution of Nigeria serves as the country’s fundamental legal framework, establishing how Nigeria is governed. It defines the structure of government, the separation of powers among the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary, and sets the rights and responsibilities of citizens. The constitution also outlines the rules for elections, federalism (sharing power between the national and state governments), and safeguards individual freedoms. It aims to create a legal foundation for stability, democracy, and development, ensuring government actions reflect the will of the people while protecting their rights under the law.
