Description
This book outlines a series of legislative and regulatory measures enacted during the late 1930s and early 1940s, primarily under the Emergency Powers (Defence) Acts and related Orders in Council, aimed at bolstering colonial defence and governance during World War II. It includes key regulations such as the Nigeria General Defence Regulations, 1941, and specific controls on imports, explosives, newsprint, and the movement of goods, as well as measures for identifying aliens and managing minerals in closed areas. These laws reflect the extensive administrative and legal framework established to address wartime exigencies and maintain order in colonial territories.
