Minister of Justice, Mr Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) and the former federal commissioner of works, Alhaji Femi Okunnu, are among eminent Nigerians pencilled in for the presentation of a book titled: “The Nigerian Law of Electronic Transactions” written by the former Lagos State attorney-general and commissioner for justice, Mr Adeniji Kazeem.
In a statement by Adeniji Kazeem & Co. yesterday, Fagbemi will chair the public presentation of the book while Okunnu will be the special guest of honour.
The statement x-rayed the predominance of electronic transactions in the 21st century and the need to understand the legal framework that governs it.
Kazeem, as noted in its preface, said: “In today’s digital age, electronic transactions have revolutionised the way we conduct business and manage our financial lives.
“From online banking and mobile payments to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, the landscape of electronic transactions is constantly evolving.
“As we navigate the digital economy landscape, it is essential to understand the legal framework that governs electronic transactions,” Kazeem said.
He further described the book as a gateway and guide to the world of electronic transactions, which, according to him, would enable readers to confidently navigate this complex and rapidly evolving field.
He explained that the book “shows that the digital economy and the huge financial transactions it generates is made up of a complex but exciting web of laws and regulations that sometimes defy regular understanding.’’
