In a twist of statements, the recently signed trade agreement between the United Kingdom and Nigeria has sparked controversy over its provisions concerning legal practice, particularly regarding UK-licensed lawyers operating in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Dr. Doris Anitie, has vehemently refuted earlier reports suggesting that UK lawyers would be permitted to practice in Nigeria.
Anite clarified that there is no provision in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allowing UK lawyers to practice within Nigerian borders.
Contrary to this stance, initial announcements from the UK Department of Business and Trade implied that the agreement would pave the way for UK lawyers to practice international and foreign law in Nigeria.
However, subsequent amendments to the UK government’s statement on their website now suggest reciprocal permissions for lawyers from both countries.
The conflicting statements have stirred doubt regarding the true contents and negotiation process of the Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership (ETIP).
Critics, including the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), have voiced concerns about the lack of transparency and consultation during the negotiations, branding the agreement as unpatriotic and uninformed.
