In a statement, the association said the courses are designed to advance the study, clarification and development of international law.
The first course, Certificate of Advanced Studies in International Trade Law/AfCFTA Law and Policy, is scheduled for April 13-16, 2026, at the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), Piwayi District, Off Umaru Musa Yar’adua Express Way, Airport Road, Abuja.
The course is organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) and the International Law Association (ILA), in collaboration with the Nigerian Bar Association Institute for Continuing Legal Education (NBA-ICLE).
NILDS is the apex capacity building and research agency for Nigeria’s National Assembly, established by the NILS Act of 2011 (amended in 2017 to cover democratic studies).
According to the association, given the importance of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to state parties like Nigeria, through its strategic aims to create a single, unified market access across the continent, boost intra-African trade, promote economic diversification and industrialisation, attract foreign direct investment, protect creativity and innovation, and reduce poverty, it is essential for all key stakeholders to understand how to maximise the full value of AfCFTA for national development.
The course will focus on the core sources and principles of international trade law, the practical challenges that limit their effective design and implementation especially in the context of AfCFTA, as well as innovative approaches and skillsets required to negotiate win-win international trade instruments in an increasingly globalised world.
The course will also address hot topics and trends that are particularly important for Nigeria, including treaty implementation, trade remedies and dispute settlement.
The course is composed of intensive in-class sessions and free participation for registered course participants at the ILA Nigeria International Law Conference on illicit financial flows.
Sessions will commence at 9:00am daily.
Interested participants can register via the link: ilanigeria.org.ng/casilaft
